We have been roaming around town with our volunteers and Kid Ambassadors spreading smiles. Have you come across one of our Kindness Reindeer? He provides a nice back scratch, just because he is – you know- kind. Would Santa hire any other sort of reindeer? We are only 5 days away from the end of our fundraiser. We are only…

Hero [heer-oh] noun: a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. The world needs more heroes.
