π What itβs all about
π What it’s all about
The holiday season wouldn't be complete without bringing together some of our very favorite people together in one place. Last week, we had the honor of gathering many of our local partners to show a little love this holiday season... and House Three Thirty was packed! Team LRMR/LJFF hosted what is now becoming our annual holiday partner gathering complete with live music, delicious small bites, cookies & milk, the best Starbucks in town, and a visit to the one & only LeBron James' Home Court museum. We were truly humbled as everywhere we turned, we saw one incredible partner after another, and we couldn't help but think how lucky we are to have so many amazing people on this journey with us, believing in the work we are doing here in Akron.
We've said it from the start that LeBron can't do this work alone... we can't do this work alone... it takes a village, and we've seen that village show up countless times when we needed it most and even when we didn't realize we needed it. We get the opportunity to see and experience year-round what the holiday season is all about... believing, giving, and truly doing life TOGETHER. We say THANK YOU to all who are on this journey with us, who have committed for the long haul, who live beyond themselves, and who BELIEVE.
We saw this commitment in action last week as the team from the J.M. Smucker Company led our Winter Snack Pack Distribution. We couldn't let our I PROMISE School families head into winter break without receiving these packs stuffed with good hearty snacks and love by the Smucker team right in House Three Thirty's Hometown Hall sponsored by the J.M. Smucker Company. We again saw around 50 routes driven around Akron by those living beyond themselves from the J.M. Smucker Company, Faithful Servants and JPMorgan Chase. We always love having our I PROMISE Network high school students earning some valuable community service hours for their scholarships and they were right there with us loading up all these cars. We couldn't do it so smoothly without the technology provided yet again from Routific which allows us to deploy the routes and send our volunteers on their way to each and every address of our I PROMISE school families.
We've said it and we'll say it over and over, to those who continue to BELIEVE in our work... you make us proud to say WE ARE FAMILY.
