Hunter -
I’ve attached the run of show I got from NCMEC. If there are any major changes, I’ll let you know. But for now, the section for you is pasted below. The speech as written is more than 3 min - but you have as long or as short as you need.
As you can see, Manus will speak briefly about B, then intro John and Revé. Then video, then you all get some photos taken on stage, then your speech. For reference, your the first speaking slot after dinner.
Also, in the third ‘graf of your speech, I think you need to delete the reference to Beau knowing Ashley Reynolds’ story. While she first spoke publicly about her ordeal in 2010, it didn’t get big play in the press until the Glamour article (here: http://www.glamour.com/story/ashley-reynolds-the-woman-fighting-sextortion) until last fall.

8:38 Manus Cooney gives remarks about Beau Biden (~3 min.)
8:41 Manus Cooney asks John and Revé Walsh to join him on stage to announce the Hope Award to Beau Biden

From their website: The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s HOPE AWARDS will be held on Thursday, May 12 at The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, D.C. The event is a celebration of the inspiring work to protect children. We will recognize leaders in child safety, honor survivors and remember those who are still missing. Past award recipients include: actors Bryan Cranston and Ben Affleck; Vice President Joe Biden; Secretary of State Colin Powell; the cast of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit;" survivors Elizabeth Smart and Jaycee Dugard; and corporations, including Canon USA and Google that support NCMEC’s work through generosity and innovation.
