We are pleased to honor such a generous and supportive family with the Hope Award this year. The Mays family members exemplify conscientious and thoughtful community leadership.

We've got so many relationships that have been formed as a result of this event.

On behalf of the family, we respectfully hope that [Abu Sayyaf leader] Khadaffy Janjalani would honor their agreement with us.

The judge, her honor, up until now, has done her job. She has done it well. I just hope that the jury will decide and act in accordance with their conscience.

Coach Miles has been good to me and my family, ... For him to ask me to come was an honor to me. It confirmed our relationship. It meant a lot to me.

It's a real honor to be included among the list of finalists, when you see the names that are there, ... Some of the guys who won the Hank Aaron Award in the past are thought of as some of the best players in the history of the game, so just to be included with those guys is really gratifying.
