TANYA PERFORMED AT COLE ELEMENTARY!

All eyes were trained on Tanya Crevier, the best woman basketball handler, as she spun the orbs in a way that would make the Harlem Globetrotters dizzy. Basketballs were spinning across Crevier’s back, on a hula hoop, on water bottles, on pens held by brave volunteers and atop a pole that stretched to the ceiling.
Following Crevier’s spintastic display of talent, NFL free agent Dominic Miller tore a phone book in half, lifted students over his head and did pushups while students and teachers stood on his back...they....delivered a message of positivity...to local audiences of all ages through Champions For Tomorrow...covering such topics as peer pressure, character building, dreams and goal setting, drug and alcohol awareness, bullying, depression, abstinence, gangs and more.
Champions For Tomorrow speakers visited nearly a dozen Clovis Unified schools to share their life stories and let students know “it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” “We love to inspire, motivate and just challenge them to make good choices, to respect, to say ‘yes’ to the right things and ‘no’ to the wrong things,” said Crevier. “We use our talents as simply a tool to gain their attention and gain their respect and they really listen to what we have to say.”
The former Women’s Professional Basketball League player has traveled to more than 30 countries to perform and share a message of hope to people of all ages through her Spintacular Basketball Show...."Each of us have a personal story we share about being an overcomer. We want to give these kids hope and keep those dreams alive,” she said. Crevier even taught the audience the secret to balancing any pole — whether it’s plastic or a wooden broom stick: “Look upward." .....“Look at the opportunity and don’t always focus on your shortcomings,” Crevier said. “Have the courage to look upward and find a solution.”
Miller also spoke about his struggles with a learning disability and the anxiety he faced during “popcorn reading” sessions at school.
They were speaking as ministers from "Champions For Tomorrow"

A Chaplain in a Correctional Institution had this to say about Tanya's appearance:
Dear Tanya WOW, our inmates are still talking about your time spent with us.....last week. Let me say what a true blessing it was to have you with us. I only wish we would have had more time to sit and talk and share. I went home and gave my boys the basketball and the towel you gave them from the [professional] Arena. I wish you could have seen them. They could not believe that someone would give them something like that and not know them. Your impact on the place was amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you allowed God to do through you and for what you did for my two boys. God Bless you Tanya and I look forward to seeing you in the future. |
Tanya,
What a spectacular show you performed! Everyone of us were absolutely enthralled and amazed. I downloaded the video footage I took to YouTube and pray it blesses others as much as your performance blessed all of us. A SCHOOL IN FLORIDA |

Hello Tanya!
Today, you were at my school......I really want to thank you so much for coming. I honestly never even knew of you before you came, but I'm so glad I know about you now. You are truly my inspiration now. For a few years now softball has been my life. I went from second base man, to being a pitcher. I practiced for hours trying to get a position as being a pitcher. One game our pitcher before me got injured. My coach had heard I had been practicing pitching and he let me pitch the game. Of course, since it was my first time I didn't do the best. And I was down about it, but I kept practicing and practicing. This year is my fourth year of playing softball. I am in 8th grade and I had lost all my hope of ever becoming better than I am. I quit practicing. I told my parents I wasn't going to play when it got to season. They were very upset and told me I had to play or I'd have no privileges. My dad is a preacher and I have really never payed attention to the words "Never give up on your dreams" or "God put you on this earth for a reason. He has a plan for you", but thanks to you, I am now going to listen to these sayings. You have brought me hope. I am now going to start practicing a lot, and try to be the best I can be. I honestly think God sent you to my school for a reason! Thank you so much. Inspired Student! 
Great time in Fresno!!!

From: Kentucky School
To: tanya@tanyacrevier.com Subject: So Inspirational! "Hello, Tanya! You were at my High School in Kentucky today, and I had to eprsonally email you myself; your show today was very inspirational. Just like many other people, I have been contemplating a lot lately with what I want to become in my future. Your show today completely changed my outlook on how I will apply myself. Even if I might fail in the process, I know if I apply myself I can become anything I want to be. Thank you so much, again! Your testimony is truly touching. Thank you for not being ashamed of the Gospel! God will continue to bless you as you bless others! (: |

BILL GLASS PRISON MINISTRY LETTER:
Dear Tanya: "I want to thank you for visiting my daughter's prison camp.... She is a Christian who was led astray but has come back to the Lord. It was very encouraging to see your people. Thank you again. I am a grieving but grateful mother. You may never know all the 'thank-yous' out there for you, and I will continue to pray for your ministry. From: Kathy
To: 'Tanya Crevier' Subject: Sunday We loved having you with us Tanya. It was a great evening thanks to you. I was not expecting you to jump right in at the beginning of the picnic to play with the kids, and I really appreciated that. Your playing and teaching them gave something to draw them in right away! You just brought a level of enthusiasm and energy to the whole evening. Loved it! I can't believe what you can do with a basketball! God has really blessed you with a unique way to share the Gospel. So thankful for you. We will continue to be in prayer for your ministry and look forward to hear how God uses you. Kathy From: A Student

"Hi Tanya....you spoke and put on an awesome show at our....award ceremony last night....I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful speaker and entertainer you are. My children and I have been discussing joining the church and asking Jesus to be part of our lives. It was touching when you asked if anyone wanted to accept Jesus in their lives and my two children raised their hands and prayed with you. They have talked about you non-stop. I recently divorced my husband after many years of abuse.....I miss Jesus in my life. It has been very hard on myself and my two children. Every day we get stronger and I know accepting Jesus back in our lives will complete myself and my children. I don't know if you will actually receive this email, but I wanted to let you know what a wonderful inspiration you were to myself and my children.
Thank you so much, A Grateful Mother To: tanya@tanyacrevier.com;
