A charity bake sale helps homeless children

Posted on December 14th, 2010 by Sara B.

Sara B. is a member of VSP's Finance Team.

Ryan Lunquist, founder of Project 680, created a special “thank you” video to express his sincere appreciation towards VSP employees for all their hard work in raising $1,284 for this season’s shoe drive. This was done through two charity bake sales held by the Finance Department, as well as regular donations. 100% of the donations has been used to buy new Payless shoes for homeless children in the Folsom-Cordova Unified School District (FCUSD). Project 680 is a grassroots team effort to do something about student homelessness in the FCUSD. I am so proud to be a part of a group who helped make this holiday season a truly special one for these needy children!

“Our goal was to just have the photo posted on the Regis and Kelly photo gallery with thousands of other photos. My wife Dana checked the Web site weekly but never saw the photo.” says Frank, a VSP regional vice president in Georgia.

The photo that started it all.

Then, the week began to unfold…

Monday, March 1

The top 10 semi-finalists were revealed on the show, and Maggie Sue Romeo was in the Top 10!

“The online voting started immediately and with the help of friends and family [and thousands of online voters] Maggie made the Top 5! The show producers called Dana right after the show and [according to the contest rules for the week-long event], gave her four hours to get to the airport to New York. I was traveling on business, so my mother-in-law made the trip with Dana and Maggie. Read more »
