Testimonials
“Thanks to The Triumph Organization, our staff and students at Thomas
Worthington High School have not only been made more aware of relational
bullying, but they have also been motivated to learn how to effectively deal
with it when presented with different situations. In sharing her personal
story, Tami McCandlish has opened the eyes and hearts of everyone here at
Thomas. We have purchased over 100 copies of her book and have them
circulating throughout our staff and student populations. Currently, Triumph
is working with our staff and groups of students in an effort to empower
them to recognize and put an end to girl bullying. The impact of Triumph’s
presence here has been tremendous!”
—Julie Ann King, Assistant Principal, Thomas Worthington High
School
"Triumph's president, Tami McCandlish, does a wonderful job of articulating
the challenges of females bullying. She provides a personal story to launch
the discussion, and she effectively shines light on a problem in the lives
of many young ladies. Her ability to communicate helps to captivate the
listener and provide hope and help for those dealing with these difficult
circumstances."
—Steve Rauch, President of WFCO 90.9FM Lancaster, OH
“When Tami first came to my school and told us her story, I started thinking
about the bullying that has happened to me. Now, with the things that we
have done in the Triumph lunch bunch meetings, I've learned ways to deal
with bullying. I have found my roles in groups of friends that I hangout
with, and I'm also figuring out how to stand up to the people who bully me.”
—Monica Gonzales, 11th grade
“Triumph helped a lot. Now, I have tons of friends, and I’m not afraid to go
to school.”
