Safetynet Charity

For Spencer's Birthday Party this year, he asked his friends not to bring gifts but rather to bring clothing, food or cash donations for a local charity - Safetynet.  It is a local charity that helps youth and families in need. 
Spencer had a Pizza Party for his friends and they played all sorts of games  in the basement.  Everyone seemed like they had a great time and we had so much fun with all our friends!
Let the pizza making begin!

It's all good!

He collected $130, food and so many clothes that we filled the back of the Expedition!  Bill Shields, the founder of the organization was so impressed with what Spencer did, he took us on a tour and invited us back on the days they tutor the children in case the boys have any interest in offering up some of their time helping others in that way too.

It was a very prideful moment for all of us to be able to see our efforts going towards helping those in need!!  A special thanks for all of our friends to helped us realize Spencer's dream.
