Ok, since my family doesn't really celebrate Christmas I'd like to be able to give one to somebody else. Last year I went with about 7 or 8 other members and we brought Christmas to a single mother with 7 kids. I consider it successful and would like to do this again to another family. This will be on Christmas day. I understand some of you won't be in town, but for those of you who are and want to help out just shoot me a PM or reply here. Even if you don't believe in Christmas, come out anyway! If you cannot make it Christmas day and would like to contribute you can give me cash or give me a toy ahead of time and I can wrap it or put it towards the family. UPDATE (12/18/09):Info on the family: The household is in the South Sacramento area off of Florin/21st In the house are: Grandma - Dorothy (67) Dad - Michael (48) 3 girls - 15, 17, 19 2 boys - 12, 14 Clothing sizes for girls: 15- size 2 17- size 3 19- XL Clothing sizes for boys: 12- 12 slim pants 12 shirt 14- 14 slim pants 14 shirt For those of you who do not like to read: WHO: Us from SRF. Giving back to others. Hopefully SCR and CVRF could come along as well WHAT: Bringing Christmas to a family who can't really have one WHERE: Meet in South Sacramento, maybe PCP parking lot and go to the Florin area (don't want to post exact address here, but will have it at the meet up) WHEN: Christmas Day: December 25, 2009 meet at 9:00am and head over 9:30am WHY: To help others Last year I got the mom a full spa day at Massage Envy and we got the kids assorted toys and girly stuff for the girls. This year I do not believe they will even have a Christmas tree so I'm gonna set up a minimal checklist and whatever we get after that would just be fantastic. If you guys think it would be a good idea to bring them food as well we could do that. Items Needed: Small Christmas tree Simple Christmas lights Gift for Mom/Gift for Dad At least gift toy per child GOING: 1. Me 2. Ryan E 3. Jason 4. SacdogMikey 5. DJ GSXR 6. Black N Gold 7. Kim! 8. LowsR6 9. 10. MAYBE: 1. Chief + Sheena 2. Tommy 3. ROB916 4. ThatStickerGuy 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. So, who's with me? P.S. If the day is clear I think riding would be awesome if we could put a gift on the back of our bikes, but last year it rained on Christmas and it's probably looking the same this year, but if you're comfortable. RIDE!
Han, Thanks for posting this up. I'm not sure if I could make it out there Christmas day but I'll find a way to get my contribution to either you or anyone else who will be there.
Would love to help with this next year. We have just moved to town and cannot afford to buy stuff right now. Throughout this next year I would love to help with charity.
definitely will do a earlier notice next year, but thanks for your guys' support! I made them a simple canvas thing saying from 4theriders, SCR, SRF, CVRF and Throttle Worx and everybody who attended signed it for the family. Here are some pics from my camera:
I'm sorry I missed it! Heard all about it from Kim tonight at the party. Great to hear it went well and wonderful pics!
