It will be fun to see which team collects the most! All donations will benefit the Grateful Hearts Soup Kitchen to fight local hunger.
Encourage your children to show their team spirit by wearing Giant, Patriot, SPMA or other team shirts on this special morning of giving to those in need. Have fun! Do good!
