Holiday traditions are part of what make holidays special. Whether the tradition is a favorite food or a special song, every family has unique holiday activities that help make celebrations memorable. For one family in Santa Cruz, California, Christmas means a time of giving. Each year, instead of exchanging presents, the Boone family gets together and decides on a joint charity donation.
After researching The Kids Need to Read Foundation, the Boones decided to honor us with their 2008 gift. Kids Need to Read received a $250 donation accompanied by this hand-written note.
We grew up with a love for reading, and we like that your organization is really based on fostering that love in children through providing great books to libraries and schools. We found you because we are also Nathan Fillion fans, and this just makes us appreciate him even more! Keep up the wonderful work, and good luck in the coming year!
Jill, Cristie and Curtis Boone
The Kids Need to Read Foundation salutes the Boone family’s holiday tradition of charity, and hopes that their generosity is paid back to them in spades for keeping the true spirit of giving alive and well in these tough times.
