"Dear Catwalk III Team,
On behalf of The Steadfast Foundation, Ryan and myself, I want to thank you, one and all, for your hard work and dedication to produce such a tremendous event this year. By all accounts, Catwalk for Charity III was a roaring success. Sponsors, donors, attendees, the Sabres, and other special guests all agree that Catwalk was extremely well done and truly a night to remember.
T, you only get better at the art of the party. Thank you for all you do, but especially thank you for assembling and effectively and affectionately managing such a great collection of complimentary talent. What a team.
Our goals are to create a celebration, an evening of fun and excitement, that reminds people to appreciate how precious life is, and to help generate the necessary funds to continue our support of the psychosocial programs offered young cancer patients and their families through Carly's Club at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. I think we accomplished both. Thanks again. "

Thank you as always for allowing me to be a part of it.

July 2009 - Wedding of Shaun Benderson and Gina Balducci
Dear Therese, Randy and I would like to thank you for all of your time and hard work to make Gina and Shauns day so special. There wasn't one detail that was missed anywhere along the way. Somehow it all comes together. The temple looked gorgeous and the transformation of the ballroom was spectacular. Thank you for making our day so special as well. Lori and Randy Benderson (Parents of the Groom) Dear Therese, "Thank you", barely seems sufficient for all you have done! The listening ear, the advice, the patience, and your organizational skills were invaluable to me. I feel like I am losing a friend now! And that is the only things that is making me sad! You have been an important part in a big wonderful event in our lives and you helped to ensure that it would be beautiful and unforgettable. Thank you - thank you!

“Therese, The Catwalk For Charity event featuring Ryan Miller & the entire Buffalo Sabres Hockey team was far and away one of the best inaugural efforts I have ever seen! Your ability to take several completely separate worlds of Pro Sports Personalities, the Buffalo Community and a start-up charitable organization such as The Steadfast Foundation, and put them together into one program that touched the crowd the way it did was truly amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing another side of the Buffalo Sabres personalities and was entertained from start to finish. You didn’t miss a single detail! The flow and energy of the show, the fun and excitement everyone showed and the true out-pouring of generous donations to a great cause had to make you proud of what you do! There was another great surprise around every turn! I’m sure the hard work paid great dividends to you as you watched it unfold in a seemingly effortless manner. In my eighteen years of producing top level events I am always intrigued to work with someone as passionate for details, professional on all levels and simply an absolute pleasure to work with and I would work with you anytime! Your staff was fantastic, your ideas right on target, and your positive energy relentless.”Congratulations to you! Put my name on the list for next year now!
