To Our Family:
Please give yourselves a hand. Each and every one of you are the reason we continue to succeed in pushing our mission and message of social inclusion to the world and, without you, we’d be lost. 2011 has been an amazing year for everyone in the Best Buddies CA family and that was more than obvious this past Saturday at our 2nd Annual BBCA Family Holiday Party so graciously hosted by Guess? Inc, Susan Tenney and their incredible staff. We cannot say enough to thank them for going the extra mile and making the party such an amazing experience for everyone who attended.
From the photo booth to the karaoke to cutting loose on the dance floor, we hope that all of you enjoyed the party just as much as we did. On Saturday, you would be hard pressed to find a staff member or volunteer without a smile on their face and that is a credit to all of you – your commitment, caring for each other and enthusiasm for everything that Best Buddies stands for.
With every event, we are struck not only by the remarkable supporters and family members that we have within BBCA, but how close we have all become and that’s what this is all about. Even though there were about 300 people in attendance, it felt so intimate and warm that it is easy to see how much of a family we have become over the past year. For the staff at BBCA it never goes unnoticed.
In 2011 we saw many incredible events come out of California from the Friendship Walk to the Hearst Castle ride to Bowling for Buddies and the Holiday Party with a little dash of Flash Mobbing in between. 2012 promises to be just as thrilling, fun and important for BBCA - we make it our duty to do so. This last Saturday only confirmed what we already knew: how lucky we are to have all of you and all of the extraordinary individuals we get to call our friends, supporters, family and colleagues. You are all champions!
In closing, enjoy your Holiday season, spend as much time as possible with those you love and keep warm! We are honored that you have let us become a part of your family.
From everyone at BBCA, here’s to you and yours and a happy, healthy Holiday Season!
In Friendship,
Best Buddies CA
