Personal message from Russell Tanoue:

THANK YOU ALL FOR A FABULOUS EVENING!  REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU, if you were there, "You are the REAL Deal!" Thanks for all your birthday wishes and support.  A lot of who I am, is because of who you are in my world.  Continue to be bold, real and never sell yourself short!

To all my sponsors and the media, thank you so much for believing in me and pushing forward with me throughout the major challenge of the sudden venue change.  I am humbled by all of your support especially having to reinvent  and turn everything around in just 6 days after months of planning.  Through all of this, I have learned who I really am and who's the real deal .  I thank  each and everyone of you for being who you are.

You have been a major part of the success of this event.  I am moved and grateful.  I look forward to next year as WE are going to raise it to the next level, and I am ready!

Special thanks to E & O Trading Company, Redbull and Kai Vodka for sponsoring the after party.  I know it could not have been kept a secret, but the thought is priceless.

I am blessed to have such great people who feel I'm deserving.  Thank you and know our business relationship will last a long time.

Big Thanks!

Russell Tanoue
