"It is rare that organizations involved in community development in the same area align as closely as we do.  Here at World Vision, we describe our work as transformational development.  It is the process and actions through which children, families and communities move toward fullness of life with dignity, justice, peace and hope.  The goals and staff of Surgance fall directly in line with our vision of transformation."

"The team...made an outstanding contribution to the New York City schools that benefitted thousands of New York's children.  The leadership of these three gentlemen reflected the professionalism of the Paint the Town program.  Their dedication to the mission as well as to the quality of the work performed has drawn the admiration of all of us in the Division of School Facilities."

"Making a difference in our community is important to The Staubach Company.  In the Summer of 2006...we sent 40 of our employees to work with Paint the Town—a program which partnered volunteers from within as well as outside the community to transform New York City public schools.  The leadership team made an outstanding contribution to our community by helping us transform a local school.  The Staubach Company is grateful for the opportunity to participate with them in this program and would love to participate in similar programming led by their team."

"I would like to thank the Surgance team for locating groups that could best benefit from the IBM grant program.  It seems that I had wasted so much time trying to locate places to gives these grants to and when I was introduced to your services, you were able to complete my plan in record time and seamlessly.

Your business of collaboration, forging and nurturing relationships across systems and agencies, has proven to be a priceless service for IBM."
