TESTIMONIALS
P.F. McCleary
Musical Artist & Former C.A.A.N., Inc. Athlete
“Ernie DiStefano and CAAN, Inc. gave me hope when I was hopeless.
He helped me to overcome my previous challenges and mistakes in life.
Now I have a great family & I'm pursuing my music career."
Karen Steed
Mother of Former C.A.A.N., Inc. Athlete
Raising three boys as a single parent was challenging, but I aimed to guide them well. In 2010, my son faced a situation that led him to three years at Howard R. Young Correctional Facility.
While living in Anchorage in 2012, I received a transformative call from Mr Ernie, who helped Floyd on a path to success. He consistently reached out, recognizing my son’s gifts and encouraging him to return to school.
Thanks to Mr. Ernie and CAAN, Inc., my son has become a wonderful man and father.
Shaheed Holmes
Aspiring Boxer
"Thanks to the help of CAAN, Inc., I can afford my training fees & pursue my athletic dreams."
Andrew Hudson
Author & Boxing Coach
"I have just recently come across this organization and I support their mission.
As a boxing coach, it saddens me when fighters are unable to pursue their promising careers in boxing because of financial issues or because they have to put their passion for boxing aside to provide for their families.
This can also be the case for beginners joining the gym and not returning because of similar issues.
I have faith in this organization to help fighters out in a way that will allow them to chase their dreams and live up to their potential.
I hope CAAN, Inc. will continue to gain support and recognition
In the future, I will do my best to help make that happen!"
