A number of speeches and presentations were made by some great people. Former NFL player Chris Draft of the Chris Draft Foundation, Josh Foliart of MULTIPLi and Freddie Scott II were all presenters. Scott II currently serves as president of Unlock The Champion. All three of these individuals represent non-profit organizations which help to build self-worth, character and development of leaders.
