Troop 10216 Bronze Award Project:
Gabby S. - Troop 10436
Gabbi has been collecting various items, such as new board games, DVD's, non perishable foods & over 60 lbs of the metal tabs for the Ronald McDonald house for the last few years. Gabbi chose this is because about 6 years ago her family received a call in the middle of the night that there had been a bad car accident in North Carolina. Her aunt & uncle and 2 cousins (2 months & 7 years old) had left earlier that evening to move to Virginia because the husband had joined the Military. Their Toyota Corolla was smashed from the back by a semi-truck whose driver was driving way too fast in the rain! The Ronald McDonald House took care of some of the family members for about 2 weeks while the baby was in ICU before she passed away. Gabbi wants to do whatever she can to help the Ronald McDonald House continue to help other families that are in are in similar situations.
Troop 10369 Bronze Award Project
Troop 10369 collected cake mixes, frostings, candles, paper goods &
decorations, plus gifts, in order to make "Birthday Parties in a Bag" for God's
Little Acres, in Coral Springs. GLA operates a food pantry in addition to its
services to families with terminally ill and developmentally disabled children.
Their initial goal was 10 complete bags, but with an outpouring of support from
local businesses, neighbors and friends, the Troop received enough donations to
make 33 bags! They also were able to include handmade birthday cards in every
bag, by recruiting other children to make cards.
