GVT!!! We did it again this year and in the 11th hour we were able to beat previous years fundraising! The wife and I just wrapped up getting the bags ready for drop off tomorrow morning at 9AM!!
We typically are able to be very specific on items that we buy but this year each kiddo has a hefty visa gift card, their favorite bags of candy, and some personalized notes to each of them.
These gift cards will allow each kid to get a shopping day with their respective house mother / father and they will be allowing them to get some gifts off their wish list.
Thank you to everyone that put forth an effort, donated, and helped make this a success yet again! A very special shout out to Dino Fernicola for his personalized solo charity games, Sara Mcknatt for her second annual Bruzzle for a cause raffle (which raised an insane amount!!), Clayton Whiten throwing down a challenge that allowed me to put an extra $200 towards the cause, and Kevin Houghton coming through with a big PayPal donation last week as well!! We raised just north of $8,500 this year and is something to be proud of as a group!
Merry Christmas to each of you and happy holidays! I hope you all have an amazing time with family & friends in the coming week.
Looking forward to yet another year of making Christmas a special time for these kids and maybe another shot at adding some additional folks in need in 2025!
🍻ya filthy animals!
Much love,
