June 2016 | Gianna Lopez
During the holiday months, Gianna did a mission each day of the advent calendar. Each morning she would open a drawer of her advent calendar and a new act of kindness would be inside. Some of these acts of kindness included: tying scarves on park benches for anyone who needed to keep warm, visiting animal shelters and donating items, and writing letters and sending care packages to soldiers.
In addition, Gianna recently heard of a little girl in Georgia who missed out on going to CHEERSPORT because she had a tumbling block. The girl’s mother desperately tried to get her a blanket, but unfortunately was unable to. Gianna decided to send the girl her own CHEERSPORT blanket along with a letter of encouragement!
