Testimonials
"As I make the transition from dancer to full-time Realtor, I am filled with feelings of gratitude for Shotgun Willie's. During COVID quarantine I was forced to think about what life was going to be like beyond my 7inch, pink, sparkly heels. After some deep contemplating, I decided to take my people and sales skills into real estate. Willie's Wishes covered the full cost of my schooling and books in a time of financial hardship. Now, I am a fully licensed real estate agent with 3 sales already under my belt and so many more to come! I am so appreciative of the opportunities that Shotgun Willie's and the Willie's Wishes scholarship has provided me.” -Maryam AKA Samira
“I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the many opportunities I have been given through being a part of this community! I just completed my first month as a cybersecurity advisor at one of the top managed security companies in the world. I am where I am today because of all of you, and I want to say THANK YOU. When I moved to this club I was just finishing up my bachelor’s degree. I was unhappy with the direction I was going and struggling to decide what to do next. Working here gave me the money and time to explore my options in a way that would have never been possible at any of the other jobs I had had prior to this. In my years working at Shotguns, I learned to do graphic design, build websites, and started two companies. I traveled to South America, Asia, and all over Europe. Through my work at Shotgun’s, I have learned to be not only an entertainer but a businesswoman and a healer. While I learned to be a charming hustler, I also learned to be a team player, a critical thinker, and a great communicator. And after all that, with the help of the Willie’s Wishes Scholarship, I took the past 8 months to complete a course in cybersecurity and got a job in the industry. None of this would have been possible without you all, so thank you, thank you, thank you! I miss working with you all already but take every chance I get to brag about how awesome everyone here is. I hope to catch you all again soon.” -Nikita
“I became a Shotgun’s entertainer about 8 years ago in order to fund my education in the aviation field. Let’s face it - that’s the reason a lot of us girls became entertainers, because our families couldn’t afford to send us to college. So we are cutting it ourselves, but can’t do it without you! Please have the time of your life during our awesome golf tournament and in turn I encourage you to support us ladies that you love so much! :-)” -Aspen
