Volunteering with Second Chance Toys

Today I volunteered with Second Chance Toys!  Second Chance Toys gives used toys to children in need, what the organization does is it has volunteers clean, tag and send the toys out.

I cleaned a TON of today today, it was really gratifying to see all the hard work that everyone had put in and knowing that these toys would go to a new home instead of the dump.

St Judes Winter Gala

Last night I attended the 6th Annual St. Jude Winter Gala Presented by Friends of St. Jude.  The event supported St Jude Children's Research Hospital (http://www.stjude.org) in Memphis, TN.  I met some really great young professionals and even got to speak with Michael, a former St. Jude patient and cancer survivor!  He was so full of life and such a pleasure to speak to--he is really living life to the fullest and is currently a masters student at Columbia University!  Way to go Michael!

NYSPCC - 2012 Annual Gala: Protecting Kids First

 Tonight I attended the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NYSPCC) .  NYSPCC works with children who have been abused to help them get over the abuse they endured and help them reach their goals for the future.

The event was very touching and I was glad to be able to be a part of it and support their cause!
