Another patriotic story

We continue to get emails showing support from every corner of the globe, from kids, teachers, military families, Veterans, corporate CEOs and everyday folks.  Occasionally, we get something that really jumps out at us, and the following is one of them.

Subject: Hula-Hoopin' for Pizzas 4 Patriots!

For those of you that already know--Take a look at this one! 

 

For those that don't:

Christa wanted to do something for our troops.  She decided to have a lemonade-type stand at the end of our street. However, Christa wanted to do something just a little different than the typical lemonade!  SHE HULA-HOOPED FOR THE TROOPS!  She wanted to raise enough money to send some care packages.  I thought what she planned was such a great story of giving that I told her I would double anything she made.  Well, long story short, she made some money!  We just donated all of it to Pizzas 4 Patriots (check out the website)!  What better way to give back? Hopefully our troops will get pizza for the 4th of July-Just a little slice of home!

 

A special thanks to the neighborhood kids that cheered Christa on and donated some of their own money to help the cause!  Thanks Nathan Stern, Brady Heiges and Spencer Courtney!

 

Take Care,

Darcey

    Hey, this is a great example of people giving back! No government needed to provide the pizza or the incentive to get out and raise the money. This should be a new child fitness craze.
