After receiving the good news, Cole had a unique opportunity to meet and have have photos taken with NFL Quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart who was there visiting all the children on Cole's floor. Leinart is the head of the Matt Leinart Foundation which is committed to granting resources and opportunities to support disadvantaged youth through learning centers, sports activities and granting wishes: to build character development, and help each child maximize academic and personal achievement.
Later in the day, Cole got to go on another "community outing" with one of his therapists. This time Cole got to choose where they went and he decided it was sushi time. Cole located a sushi bar within walking distance on the internet and after planning the route, he, Rhonda and the therapist negotiated the streets of Hollywood and safely arrived at the restaurant.
