It's beginning to look a lot like...Giving Kids season! In Colorado and in Florida, the gifts are purchased and the events are scheduled, and this is our favorite time of the year. Every year, we spend a great deal of time, talent, and treasure on planning, funding, and holding Giving Kids events. It is no small task, but the rewards are outstanding. We really believe that the gift of giving multiplies our efforts many times over. If the thank you notes we receive are any indication, this program impacts many in deeply meaningful ways:
School administrators and staff:
"Thank you for supporting our students during the holidays. We love you all!"
"Thank you so very much for bringing Giving Kids back to Centennial this year! Wow! The day was simply magical. We loved seeing all of the volunteers, and it was delightful to see our students' joy!"
"YES!! Thank you so much!! I was so impressed by this event and the students were so excited to shop for their family members! We are so happy and thankful that you were able to provide such a wonderful experience for our students! "
Volunteers:
"We truly enjoyed seeing the smiles on the kids' faces, and I think it brought as big a smile to our faces, too...if you can get involved, I strongly encourage you to do so, because you will be blessed"
"It's always great to come here and give to this program...knowing that they were able to give gifts to their family, they had a great time 'shopping' through the 'store'. It's a great experience for the kids, they enjoy it, and I enjoy it. I look forward to it every year."
Students:
"Thank you for the lovely presents. My family was so pleased when they opened their presents. It means so much to me that you're helping all of us. You guys are like my heros"
"Thank you for letting us pick out presents for our great family...I love your good company. I thank you so very much."
"Thank you for letting us pick out presents for our family...my dad picked me up and said 'Thank you'."
Parents:
"I thank you guys so much for the gifts you gave to my family..At 31 years old I got my first MOM necklace....I am so grateful..."
This is why we do what we do...one million thank yous to all who are a part of making this happen, time after time, for 11 years!
