To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Eddie Suliman, and I am the Founder and Owner of Eddie Suliman Events an event planning business which I have run for the past 11 years. I have had the pleasure of working with Shannon Pecore for several years now and what started as a working relationship from when she participated in a small school marketplace event with the business she represented at the time, grew into our businesses working together at multiple and much larger events. More recently Shannon and I worked on a charity fundraiser for Peel Children’s Aid as she is known for being a huge community supporter wherever and whenever she can. Shannon is a smart, talented individual who sees an opportunity to make things better when no one else can. She always finds a way to connect her business with other businesses for a positive outcome. Shannon is an avid local business support and brings a huge awareness to the companies she represents. Shannon has a friendly, professional and approachable personality and will be a great asset to any business she works with.
Sincerely,
Eddie Suliman

'When I think 'Community Connection', Shannon immediately comes to mind. For over ten years, I have had the pleasure of partnering with Shannon on a number of initiatives. She has been pivotal in helping to organize school fundraising events and activities such as a community Fun Fair including donations from local businesses and pizza incentives and initiatives throughout every year. During the COVID pandemic, Shannon was instrumental in her tireless support for some of our families with donations of food, clothing, gift cards, and toys that she worked with local businesses with for their support. She is always exploring ways and the means to help community members and to showcase and promote local businesses and their support of the community. Shannon's impact on our Plowman's Village has been incredible and so appreciated by all. Shannon is resourceful and leads with her heart and her heart is always in the right place - Community.'

Shannon is amazing! Why? Well, last year she came to my aid, when I lost my husband and the father of our 2 young children unexpectedly, at the age of 42. He was my soul mate, rock and provider, especially after my own close encounter with death in 2017, when I had to undergo multiple amputations to fingers and both of my feet. One of my best friends posted a Go Fund Me and Shannon, in her previous role, found it and reached out to see if they could help. Through her old employer, she arranged a fundraiser that helped considerably. I’m not sure how this reads to you, but to me, this was a huge help – Shannon was resourceful enough to find me, a total stranger in need, by reaching out to the community; skilled and efficient in thinking and planning everything through to the last tiny detail; and hard working in actually putting in her own time and labour into the fundraiser event itself. Shannon is more than capable of finding an opportunity and fulfilling a need, all while being friendly, personal and professional. She is amazing!
