A special shoutout is deserved for our 18 members who dedicated their time and effort to transport these gifts. Their commitment and hard work played a crucial role in bringing smiles to so many faces. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the Swanbeck Team and Jeff Rush for their amazing support, proving that when we come together, we can make a significant impact.
