DSC_0112Was an amazing day today as our Cheerful Givers volunteers partnered with the Minnesota Vikings to fill 300 birthday gift bags at their Winter Park facility!

While players had returned home at 4 am from their previous nights’ game in Chicago, they managed to be wide awake and willing to help at 10 am. KARE 11 news captured a bit of the event on their 6 pm news tonight and Fox Sports will be broadcasting the event on Sunday when Cheerful Givers will be honored with a “Hometown Hero” award during the Vikings game with the NY Giants.

Read more on the Vikings website or watch this short video. We have a set of photos on Flickr too. Go Vikes!

It’s good to give donations to worthy causes anywhere. I know what it’s like to not get any birthday presents. — Russ from Ireland
