Bridget Evans is an extraordinary young woman. (She is also my beloved niece.)

Bridget was selected as FOX Sports Net "Inspirational Athlete of the Year" in 2002, at the age of 13 (her birthday is on Valentine's Day!), and received a standing ovation for her inspiring - and funny - talk to over 350 people. Bridget was also the 2004 "Champion of Children's Memorial, Chicago, Illinois".

• Bridget has a condition known as Spina Bifida, and will undergo up to three life threatening operations in the next few years.

Fifty percent of the book's net profits will be donated to The Bridget Foundation to help pay for Bridget's on-going and on-growing medical expenses. (Although Bridget's parents have insurance, the surgeries, according to her mom, Mary, are considered 'experimental'.) 

Five percent of the net profits from "SalesBURST!! : World's Fastest (entrepreneurial) Sales Training" will be donated to the Spina Bifida Association of America.

A note from Cindy Brownstein, CEO of the Spina Bifida Association:

Thank you for your time and your wonderful generosity.
 
We are honored that you are donating 5% of your net revenues from your book to the Spina Bifida Association. It would be my great pleasure to come to Chicago and meet with you. I would like to share some more about the work of the Spina Bifida Association and the Spina Bifida Foundation.

Many thanks, Pat, for all you are doing. Bridget is a very lucky young lady to have you and your wife as her uncle and aunt.
 
Cindy Brownstein, CEO
Spina Bifida Association of America
