When the national economic downturn threatened to endanger the Family Giving Tree's Holiday Wish Drive, the Elves were nervous. So many of our major corporate contacts had lost their jobs, several large donors pulled out of our main fund raising event, and it was looking as if we were not going to find a warehouse large enough to run the program. Yet somehow, from within this cloud, we all pulled through...and the Elves couldn't thank our supporters more. With more than 1,000 Giving Tree locations (the 1st time we've gone above 1k), we were able to provide 58,000 children with a brand new gift; far above the goal we set! One of the social service agencies we work with sent us this picture of a girl receiving her gift...she loved her Disney Tea Set!
