Lakewood Ranch-based developer Pat Neal recently came away impressed by a music and dance performance on the final day of Summer Community Outreach Program of Enrichment, held at the Ward Temple A.M.E. facility in Bradenton.

And the life lessons taught kids ages 4 to 17  in the program.

How impressed was he?

"I’m going to share the script with my sales staff,” Neal said in a press release.

"They put on an excellent performance that even included an inspiring message about not making excuses, not quitting, and believing in the impossible,” Neal said.

Neal is among the financial supporters of the program.
