"It's a pleasure to recommend Don Eaton and the Small Change program to your school. You'll be thrilled with the outcome and you'll feel that you've make a real difference in the spirit of your school and the world. I highly recommend his program not only for your students, but also for the parent programs and staff workshops. His wonderful songs and stories, delivered in his own loving style, model the key role that compassion plays in creating self-esteem and a sense of hope in our young people. Funds are well spent on this program -- and the return in value to your school will be ten fold."

"...As much as we enjoyed the concert, Don's two-hour workshop with our sophomores was the highlight of the day. He kept 150 tenth graders interested and busy. Many students commented how much they liked the discussion in small groups..."

"Our school has been fortunate enough to host Don Eaton on two occasions. The first was a presentation to sixth graders on drug and alcohol resistance and making good choices. We were so impressed with his performance and positive outlook that we invited him back to do an all-school assembly on his "Small Change" program. His performance was captivating... bringing laughter, tears, enthusiasm and honesty into the hearts of our students. I believe that every school and student will grow in caring and compassion for others after attending one of Don's performances."

"Don's visit to our high school was a warm, sharing experience for staff and students. He has an instant rapport with young people. He's a walking, singing 'testimony' of what he believes, without overwhelming you with it. In a one hour class, he brought more insight to students then some classes do in nine weeks! I'm so glad we didn't let this chance pass us by!"
-- Corvallis High School, Corvallis, Oregon
