Early Bird Special

Rachel’s Challenge – Rachel Scott was the first victim of the Columbine High School tragedy in 1999. Since that fatal day, Rachel’s incredible story has been told to over 10 million people in venues around the world. Oprah, Larry King Live, The Today Show, Fox News, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC are a few of the media programs that have shared the story of her life. It has also been featured in a television documentary, a television advertisement about kindness, and has been the subject of several books. This keynote message contains five powerful challenges taken from Rachel Joy Scott’s life. These challenges are being implemented in secondary schools across the country, and are making these schools safer and more enjoyable places to be in. Every listener will walk away a changed person from this heart-rendering, humorous, thought-provoking, and entertaining presentation.

Rachel’s Legacy – This keynote session is the follow-up program for conferences that have previously participated in Rachel’s Challenge. Listeners will be encouraged and inspired to create their own legacy of kindness and compassion as they experience more details of Rachel Joy Scott’s life in a powerful multi-media presentation. Rachel’s Legacy is full of new stories, new video footage, and new challenges, and is just as moving as Rachel’s Challenge. Anyone who has seen the original program will be compelled to know more about how Rachel’s story is affecting the culture of thousands of schools across America today.
