I love Clay Aiken - such a good man with a good heart.

That clip for Including Samuel is amazing. It's wonderful to see there are people in this world who are trying to make a difference. This benefits not just children with special needs, but the world in general. Acceptance is what will save us.

Thank you for the information!

I wish I could go to this but my wallet has been hit hard. Clay Aiken and the Bubel-Aiken Foundation deserve our support.

I'm bankruptured too but I can help make people aware of all the work Clay does for others.

Clay Aiken has had my support for the past 5 plus years, I think BAF is a great cause, and I have done many hours of wrapping for inclusion for the past 3 years and plan to do so again this year...I wish I could go to the Gala as well...but it is not possible. I will be there in spirit!

I'm lucky enough to be going to this fabulous affair. Wish all you gals could join me there. I promise to bring back a recap of the event.

The BAF does so much good. The video of Samuel is wonderful.
I looked at both pages of the items up for bid, wow, I want 90% of them! I'll have to bid in my dreams for the JBT jacket and framed signed records especially.

Thanks!

WAAAAH! I wanna go to the Gala!

Seriously, I am so proud to be a fan of Clay Aiken -- the singer, actor, humanitarian and activist for inclusion.

And that remarkable video of Samuel should be shown on primetime national television.

I wish I could be there .

Thanks you so much for a great blog. I love that you have provided information about the different Champions for Change honorees. A great group doing a great job for inclusion. I am very proud to be a fan of Clay Aiken and one of the reasons I love him so much is because of his humanitarian efforts. I love that his foundation is honoring such deserving people.

This was my first opportunity to watch the video about Samuel. Thank you so much. We have much to learn and much to do.

I am so regretting not having made plans to attend the gala, especially after watching this video. Clay's voice will, of course, be the icing. But his incredible efforts towards humanity are the cake.

Thanks for sharing this.
