With the past projects having one's name added to the message attached to the gift was optional. :-? Yes, Anna -...

Thank you for the final update on this year's birthday project, PTP.

It's very heartwarming to see what we can accomplish when we gather together to honor Johnny. I'm very proud of the Zone for taking the time to help children in need.
