Tawnya and Liz had a fantastic time last night at the Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce Jingle & Mingle Holiday Bash at Core Event Center! It was wonderful connecting with so many chamber members, and everyone did such a great job spreading holiday cheer with the festive décor at their exhibitor booths. Among our promotional materials were gingerbread houses, a gingerbread Christmas tree, and even a Santa baking gingerbread men! 🎄
A big kudos to the Chamber staff for putting together such a fantastic event, and congratulations to all the winners of the amazing raffle baskets each display table offered. Special congratulations to Bethany from Chroma Studios, the lucky winner of our Gingerbread & Spirits basket!

Previous GOAL Feature Story: Willie's Random Act of Kindness Day ❤️

Each year, the community comes together to honor Willie’s memory by spreading kindness in his name. This year, the celebration includes the first-ever Willie’s Random Act of Kindness Coloring Book, helping children learn, celebrate, and practice kindness all year long.

It’s that time of year again as we begin preparing for Willie’s Random Act of Kindness Day. On January 6, our beloved son, Willie, will be celebrating his 6th heavenly birthday. Each year, our family asks our friends, neighbors, and community to help us honor his memory by spreading kindness in his name ❤️

This year, we’re excited to share something brand new and incredibly meaningful to us…

🖍️The first-ever Willie’s Random Act of Kindness Coloring Book! 🖍️

Created with love and inspired by real acts of kindness, this book is designed to help children learn, celebrate, and practice kindness all year long.

📘 Coloring Book Pre-Orders Are NOW Open!
We will be doing one print run only, so if you’d like a copy (or a few!), please preorder so we can include you in the count.

And of course…
👕 Our beloved WRAKD t-shirts are back!

Just like past years, shirt sales will continue to support our friends at Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Laurel Region. Whether you’re adding to your collection or gifting one to someone, your support means the world to us.

📦 Pre-Order Coloring Books & Order Shirts

👉Here:
https://www.unityprinting.com/wrak

📬 Shirts will print on demand thanks to our friends at Unity Printing!

If shirts or the coloring book aren’t your thing, that’s okay. What matters most is participating in a random act of kindness in Willie’s memory on his big day. Every gesture keeps his light shining.

Thank you for supporting us in keeping Willie’s memory eternal.

❤️ Lindsay, Will & Farrah
