Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate a Decade of Dedication today at the Memphis Botanic Gardens. We are so glad you could join us!
We also want to thank Lauren Bush Lauren for making the trip to Memphis and sharing the incredible journey she has been on as she has built FEED Projects.
As of today, FEED has provided more than 75,000,000 meals to school feeding programs around the world. She has done this through the sale of her bags and other FEED accessories and apparel. To say that Lauren is an inspiration is an understatement. Her heart for this program and for the hungry children around the world is evident in both her actions and her words. It was a true delight to have her join us today as we began our celebration of a "Decade to Dedication" of Coins 4 Kids.
These great special edition FEED bags were for sale today. Don't worry if you missed out on getting one as there will be more available on our online auction on April 7-12 on the Bidding for Good.com/IPcoins4kids website.
One side of the bag has the FEED logo and the other side has Coins 4 Kids! Such a sweet keepsake.
Mimi Gibson gave a wonderful speech in which she shared the incredible effort of Coins 4 Kids! Her passion for feeding the children in Nairobi is contagious and shines right through her whenever she speaks about it.
Many who attended were so inspired by today's event that they asked us how they could get involved. One fun and simple way is to fill a cup with your spare change. You can get these cups, or a kit for your school, church, or other organization by clicking on this photo of cups.
Once again, on behalf of Heath and John Faraci, and everyone at International Paper Company, thank you, Lauren, for celebrating a Decade of Dedication with us. It was truly an event to remember.
