My Nonprofit Reviews

I had never heard about GTSF until about 7 years ago when my ex-boss suggested we went and helped. For whatever reason I gave it a rest for a few years but in the last two I have been very active (even earning their gold shirt that I don't think I fit in after my vacation). The organization and staff (and I don't just mean the 4 paid members) are amazing. I have not met a volunteer that I have had an issue with. Just one big team.

MORE IMPORTANTLY. The look on these kids faces when they get their new shoes is tear breaking. I am from the UK and while my parents were not rich, they were never so much in need that their kids never had a new pair of shoes. And all I see when we arrive every Friday is hand-me-downs. I have their flier on my office wall at work for a year. A very worthwhile, very well organized, and very enjoyable organization to be part of!

Found out about this charity when I worked at the Wynn 4 years ago. Loved my first time. Just did it once back then and the pain run event. Enjoyed it so much (and missed it!) I thought I would make a conscious effort to do as many this year. Just a great group of organizers and fun to mingle without a work hat on. Just an enjoyable morning out.
