As we look back on the past year we want to thank you for your generous support of Boys Town during the holidays. Our two newly promoted Black Belts, Adam Gilliland and Abbie Douglas, completed their project to pick up Santa's reigns and run our annual Toy Drive for Boys and Girls Town of California. A number of our families joined Abbie and Adam as they delivered gifts to Boys Town on Dec 17.
"Dan, Takoda and I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for setting up the toy drive and allowing us the opportunity to meet Robert, Kelly and the children they are caring for. The work that they and the Boys Town organization do is nothing short of amazing, and it is rewarding to know that we may have helped their cause in even a small way during this holiday season." - Faith Dumke
"Samantha and I truly enjoyed our visit to the Stephens home on Saturday. What amazing people they are. It was very heartwarming to see the joy in the children's eyes and how happy they were to see all of us. It was a great feeling to know that those children will have a wonderful Christmas this year thanks to all who gave gifts from OC Kicks." - Barbara McCarthy
"The kids and I had a WONDERFUL visit to Boys Town today and met some adorable young children who have been handed a hard lot in life at a young age. We so enjoyed bringing them some kindness and joy for Christmas. It was such a beautiful reminder that helping others ALWAYS ends up bringing you as much joy (or maybe more) as it does to those you are helping! Both my kids are asking to go back and volunteer some more, they loved playing with the kids and came home talking about what was special about each of them. Thanks for arranging this opportunity for the kids to experience the joy of a generous spirit! My kids always think about helping impoverished children in other countries or far away places that seen so foreign and removed to them. This experience was a great way to show them that you don't have to travel very far to find people in need! Thanks to Abbie and Adam for setting this up and having the hearts to care!" - Jennifer Skinner
