“It means a lot, he cares about the community, it shows a lot,” said Stacy Williams Chapman. “Because if it was me, I probably wouldn’t have took a chance. I did for my baby. I was scared and I was at the parade when the shooting took place. I have a 16-year-old daughter and I didn’t want to let her down again so we decided to come. She told me we have to enjoy life, so I brought her out.”

Pacheco said this moment was important to him, too.

“For the kids that never met someone like me, just coming here and leaving with one thing today and knowing I love the kids, I love giving back, and (having) fun,” Pacheco said. “This moment is for all of us to enjoy and I’m giving all my energy.”

250 people were lucky enough to get a signed Pacheco autograph.“He’s very, very good and passionate to just keep doing what he’s doing and never give up because he has so many people who look up to him, especially the kids,” said Zilliox.
