#50Teens4Christmas

It feels like just yesterday our project started and now its done. The event was amazing and went off without a hitch. The kids were thrilled and spoiled. We laughed, we cried, we worked our asses off. With your tremendous support we did it and we can't thank you enough. We can however celebrate our successful event with a wrap-up party. If you were involved, encouraged us, donated, thought about us, retweeted us or just want to know what we did we invite you to come celebrate with us January 9th, 2012. All the details can be found here http://guestlistapp.com/events/83397. We are so proud of what we accomplished and can't wait to share it with you. 

On a personal note, I am completely indebted to my partner Melissa for pushing her vision forward and letting me be a part of it. This is only the beginning. 

I encourage you to continue to donate to projects like 5 Dollar Project and Food Love so we can continue to work towards a better world for all of us. Kindness is free and multiplies every time it is given away. Give freely of your time and resources and the world will be a better place.

We at the 5 Dollar Project are big supporters of other organizations doing great things. Because of that we have teamed up with Food Love KW for #50Teens4Christmas. We will be bringing a real Christmas celebration including gifts to 50 homeless teens at ROOF.

We need YOUR help though! 

The draw is over but you can still donate at any time!! We still need all the help we can get! Thanks for your help so far!!!
