And the PCAH has been at the heart of both of these efforts. We’ve done just some really cool things. The Turnaround Arts Talent Show, which is one of my favorite things – just having kids doing their thing up here in front of George and Martha. (Laughter.) The National Student Poet program, which highlights just some of the most amazingly gifted young people you ever want to see, to the Creative Youth Development Partnership, to the awards that we’re giving out today. (Applause.)
For these awards in the – for the past eight years, 3,000 programs have applied for just these awards. And we’ve honored more than 100 programs from 33 cities – 33 states, D.C., and nine countries. And we couldn’t have done any of this without the PCAH – for everything. Their energy, their focus, their commitment – you guys have just gone above and beyond every step of the way. And that’s not always the case for committees. Some people just like to see their name on some stationery, but not this team. So I want to thank you for making this all possible. I hope that you’re proud of what you’ve accomplished, because I’m so proud of you. And it’s been just a great ride.
I also want to acknowledge the other folks who are here who have been sponsors, who have been tremendous resources and partners – folks from the NEA, from the NEH, the folks from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. We’ve done some great things together. Ambassador Cabañas, who is here, from – representing his country. They’re getting a wonderful award. Thank you all for helping us recognize outstanding afterschool programs across the country.
