Pack The Trunk Event
Hello Kings Club,
I want to express my appreciation for the J. Ennis Kings, who organized a donation drive to support the Emmanuel Foundation. We experienced a devastating fire in October which left us with no inventory to use towards our International humanitarian projects. The donation drive was a new initiative with the club, and it was very successful. A special thanks to Connie and Mark Veldmen who were instrumental in organizing the event, as well to the U16 AAA Tilt Inspection Squires; the entire team showed up to support and brought a large amount of donations, which helped the event be so successful.
The U18AAA team eagerly helped everyone who came to donate and was an enjoyable team to work with. One of your coaches, Deryk Kirchner, is the Operations Manager for Emmanuel Foundation, and he brought back a very positive report on how well the they worked and interacted with all. I am continually impressed that your organization encourages and trains your players in the value of community service, as well as developing them as athletes.
Thank you again for what you are doing in our community, and best of luck in the playoffs to the Kings,
Warm Regards
Lyle Johnson
