This last Saturday, the folks at my office, Cornerstone Realty, washed cars for four hours.
So what's the big deal, you ask? I've done plenty of car washes the last few years. Fundraising for Breast Cancer, for S.O.S. (a grassroots organization to raise money for local schools), sports, etc.
But Saturday. Oh Saturday. In four short hours we raised $1,200 for a local family who's six year old son has had a relapse of cancer. People drove down and handed us checks for $100. I've never done so many car washes for $40.
I walked away with such pride that I live in an amazing community. One that takes care of the people within it.
To the people of Humboldt County. I applaud you.
