Marc Sugrue attended the CanTeen from 2006 to 2009.

Having the option of developing a community alongside mentorship at the CanTeen was astronomical. Without the mentorship of volunteers and staff like Toni Brauchle, Jenna Ogden and Don Bickel I wouldn’t have the leadership skills or the motivation to be the entrepreneur I am today. These individuals and the opportunities they gave me a safe place to lead groups of peers and mature during my teenage years. Today, I live in Atlanta, away from my childhood friends, my hometown and family. I only have the motivation to be where I am because of God, my passion for filmmaking and mentors in my life like those at the CanTeen.
