"It exhibits the true spirit of giving, you think about the efforts they had to go through to get these gifts ¬not just the money but phone calls and the car trips. This is different people all pulling together for the kids."
- Derek Hutchens, Director of the Boys & Girls Club Barrow County

"It's time for all of our communities to step up and meet the needs of the children in Georgia. There is no area of responsibility closer to my heart than these children. We are currently 42nd in the nation for child well-being. These are forgotten children, who have had to sleep on the floor of the DFACS building, because there was no other place for them. Now there is a place for them and Sonny (Perdue) and I are committed to this together."
- First Lady of Georgia, Mary Perdue
(The quote was taken From Mary Perdue's speech when Dare To Share presented a $100,000 check donation at the ribbon cutting ceremony of The Highland House.)

"It is truly remarkable that this small, generous community could raise such a huge amount of money in one day.

Dare to Share's one remarkable fundraising event will give 540 children not just a new smile, but a second chance at life."
- Brian Mullaney, President and Founding Director of The Smile Train. (2004)

With you, dreams have been realized and children know that someone cares."

Dare To Share gave me a purpose in life when it comes to our community. Dare To Share gave me back my spark and determination. Dare To Share gave me back so much love and happiness that has made me stronger than ever. Dare To Share showed me the world under the rainbow...and it is so very pretty, with little smiley faces, with big eyes and rosy cheeks saying ‘thank you’. But instead it is me who thanks you! My life will never be the same. A spectacular journey without an ending.. Something that will be passed from one generation to another. Something that will always be remembered and honored. A very determined and talented lady who started all of this has become my best friend through the years. Francine, my hat off to you!
