From donations, to wrapping presents, to volunteering out in the cold -40 degree winter days, to fundraising, these special people have taken the time to help make the Gary Effect the success that it is! If you see them, give them a pat on the back! They’re awesome, and although they’re often behind the scene, we wouldn’t have nearly as many smiles as we do because of them! They’re the splash in our ripple effect and their hard work does not go unnoticed! 🙂
