The Salvation Army Thanks You
Sue Hennings, development director for The Salvation Army, sent us the results of our Allen collection to support Christmas food boxes for families in need in December. By working together, Allen associates, the Allen Auxiliary, the administrative team and Dr. Kaaki raised $4,563. Our funds provided food boxes for 100 families who otherwise would have had nothing to eat for Christmas.
Overall, the Salvation Army fed 799 families. As you can see, our combined contribution was significant. The Salvation Army has provided for the destitute and needy for more than 100 years. It is a faith-based organization that believes we are here to help one another. Thank you for sharing that belief and your gifts.

Organize Your Team
Registration is open until February 2, 2012, but the event starts January 23. Teams can include two to 10 people, and participants work together to select a team name and captain. The teams then simply complete easy weekly updates of their personal dashboard and physical activity from their computers. Your individual information remains confidential.
