In a recent article in the New York Times, Arthur Brooks discusses why giving back can lead to happiness and the power that comes from “investing one’s own time, talent and treasure.”
ACGT has been the recipient of many of these acts of giving and we are so grateful to all of our donors including our recent young philanthropists. Just last week we received all of the proceeds from two bake sales held by five sixth grade students. The girls had learned about ACGT from a newspaper article and we are so honored they chose us as recipients. The girls had done all of the work themselves, including finding a site for the bake sale, crafting signs, promoting the sale and of course baking the treats. This is what giving is all about.
