That's a WRAP on the second annual Christmas party at Dogwood! Last year you all helped us collect 122 toys and stuffed animals to donate to the children at Sunflower House. We were asked several times leading up to last night if we were going to collect more than last year. Our Chief Toy Counter Allie has the final count...
203 toys!
A truly heartfelt thank you to all of you who participated! Some of you were able to make it to our open house party last night and bring toys with you. Others weren't able to attend but sent gifts to our office or dropped them off. Driving home, my wife Lauren and I were talking about how much fun the event was. We've been to holiday parties in big ball rooms with hundreds of people. Last night just felt different. It doesn't feel like we're hosting a party for clients of the company. It feels like our friends and family coming together for a good cause and having fun. As we continue to grow as a company, I know we will outgrow our space (we're increasing our headcount in 2025 - stay tuned!), however, I hope we can keep the spirit of last night regardless of the venue.
To all of you reading this - we wish you happy holidays, a Merry Christmas, and a prosperous new year!
