“The simplest acts of kindness are by far more powerful than
a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”
a thousand heads bowing in prayer.”
This past Friday night on November 7, 2014, we hosted a fundraiser that benefited the Sacramento Sheriff’s Toy Project and it was a smash success because of one big reason: people like YOU! After the two hour event was done and the numbers were tallied, we were floored when it added up to over $600 in cash donations, and close to 300 brand new toys for the Toy Project. The officer who came out to the event, Scott Anderson, told my staff and I while we were wrapping up just how moved he was, saying that tears came to his eyes because of the overwhelming generosity of everyone involved. When his SUV - which was stuffed so full of toys that he couldn’t see out the back - pulled out of sight, I couldn’t have been anymore proud or grateful to our clients who came out and gave so freely, and also so thankful to all of our sponsors.
As I’ve written about in the past, the Sheriff’s Toy Project is an incredible cause that benefits those less fortunate than others throughout the calendar year. They are compassionate givers to those in need, from children who are hospital-bound, to the homeless, to the single mom who isn’t able to afford Christmas presents for her children without them. These Sheriff’s who give their time to the Toy Project are unsung heroes who aren’t looking to be heralded, but rather gain everything back from what they give through the true reward of human kindness and compassion. What they truly need much more than praise or acclaim, are people like you to continue to support their great cause just as we did by having a good time together on a Friday night in Folsom.
