"Give a little instead of just receiving."
What started as one small family tradition in 2009 has grown into the Lemasters Coat Drive — now delivering 2,208 brand-new coats to kids in need in 2024. From creative fundraisers to a 24-hour Cocktail Telethon, Poul and his family continue to "give a little more" each year — and the impact now stretches close to $1 million in coats donated since 2009.
