It is hard to believe that we are celebrating the 5^th Anniversary of our Share the Love Charity Event.  The planning, coordination and orchestration of this Event has consumed our lives over the years.  Many of you know that Paul and I started this Event in memory of my mother whose favorite Charity had been Make-A-Wish Foundation®.  The circumstances surrounding her death were tragic and I was having a tough time dealing with the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of the loss.  Through Share the Love, I’ve been able to heal the hole in my heart and gain some unbelievable awareness.

Of one thing I am now sure, from the second we take that first breath when we come into this world there is no doubt in my mind that the meaning of life is to “make a difference”.  That mission can take the shape and size of a myriad of endeavors.   However, what provides the essence and value of the act is that a positive impact is made.  There is no judge, no jury nor scale which can validate or assess the worth of our actions.  Rather it’s the intention, the effort and the goal which provide the reward.  It is when we stop thinking only about ourselves that we become the victor and can enjoy life to its fullest.

Although it’s taken us over 50 years to realize this life lesson, we are content knowing that the Share the Love Charity Event was created as a grass-roots endeavor and has gained a foothold in our Community.  This Event has become the premier fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Orange County and Inland Empire.  We are thankful to the Supporters and Merchants who have been with us over the years. Without you, the Event would not have grown.  To date, we have raised over $300,000 and more than 40 local ‘wish kids’ have had their special wish granted and enjoyed a life-affirming experience.  The wish ‘makes a difference’ in their lives as it provides additional hope and strength to help them battle their illness.

Please join us in February, 2012.  Your participation and attendance can and does make a difference.

Sincerely,

Arlynn & Paul Feldman
