On Make A Difference Day, Oct. 25, the nation's largest single day of volunteerism, more than 3 million people turned out to perform thousands of charitable acts for others.
Some of my great friends and family joined me in an effort to be a part of this special day and we had a blast!
Project 1 - Tender Loving Bears
Some amazing people donated a BUNCH of bears and stuffed animals. We tied on a big bright ribbon, a little fleece blankie on some, and a note of love and encouragement. These new friends will be taken to CAPS of Elkhart to be given to a child who has been traumatized or is at risk and in need of some TLC.
Project 2 - Sunshine Delivery
People donated flowers and little teddy bears tha we wrote encouragement and love notes on, then we delivered them to Countryside Nursing Home (we couldn't take any pictures of the residents). I was so proud of everyone - even though it was a really uncomfortable and sad place to be, everyone just jumped right in and talked with people and loved on them. I was especially proud of my son Cody and his friend Bobby Nicks for going with us and hanging out with the elderly folks. A couple of them were Penn Football fans so that was cool they had something to talk about. Penn Football was represented well by these boys!
Thank you to all who were involved:
