Unexpected

Today I was reminded that good hearts are often found in the most unexpected places.  A colleague of mine and I were chatting about her upcoming participation in the relay for life - it came up that they were very close to their goal but that she wasn't very comfortable asking people for donations.  We chatted a bit more and I shared with her our Family Fund and website - laughing - I told her that I had no problem asking for donations.

It was then that she told me that she'd like to make a donation to our fund.  Just like that.

A shared belief in giving and a conversation on philanthropy and before you know it - we donated to each other's projects.

I wanted to share this story with you because I think, unless it's Christmas, it's easy to forget about our Family Fund, it's easy to lose our focus.

I matched my colleagues donation today - and I urge you to keep talking about our Fund - let's continue to grow not only it, but ourselves.
