One Warm Shirt
and Socks,
2020
|
I have a simple request, whether you live in the Bay Area or anyplace else in our country, I want the shirt off your back and the socks off your puppies. Over the past seven years I have been lucky enough to partner with St. Anthony Foundation and NBC Sports Bay Area in growing our
One Warm Shirt Program. This year we are adding the warmth of socks to grow the program.
We are collecting as many sweatshirts, hoodies, long sleeves, t-shirts and now athletic socks as possible to donate to the San Francisco community served by the St. Anthony Foundation. You are receiving this request because you donated in the past or might donate in the future and have always exhibited the spirit of philanthropic community-focused proactivity in helping others. This note is a reminder to either set aside items before the holidays take over for a follow-up communication or send to us now.
The distribution event will be a part of a post-holiday lunch served to the recipients on a February date in 2020, TBD
Please send what you have:
* New or gently used
* All sizes
* From the bottom of your drawer, storeroom, irregular pile, gym bag, attic or basement
* Misprinted logo bin
* Events that no longer exist
* Logos or colors that are too garish for your style
You can send or drop your shirts off:

SONOMA, Calif. -- For the 17th consecutive year, race fans and community members can help spread holiday spirit to Sonoma Valley kids by donating toys to Sonoma Raceway's High-Powered Toy Drive.
All toys collected during the toy drive, which runs through Wednesday, Dec. 11, will be distributed to more than 300 children at the raceway's annual Race to the Holidays Christmas Party on Saturday, Dec. 14. All children are pre-registered for the party through one of six Sonoma Valley non-profit youth organizations. New, unwrapped gifts for newborns to 12-years-old are needed.
"
I brought my daughter to the raceway children's Christmas party when she was little and now she's in high school, so I brought my two younger sons, and they had so much fun," said Edith from Sonoma following the 2018 event. "They were excited to see Santa and are already busy playing with the toys."
Toys are accepted at the following Sonoma locations:
· Sonoma Raceway, 29355 Arnold Dr., Sonoma, 800-870-RACE, Mon.-Fri., 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. www.SonomaRaceway.com

· Viansa Sonoma, 25200 Arnold Dr., Sonoma, CA 95476, (800) 995-4740, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. www.viansa.com
Gundlach-Bundschu Winery will again support the toy drive at its Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, Dec. 7, from 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Attendees can sip, shop and get cozy by a fire at this special holiday event in the Vista Courtyard, and guests can also contribute new, unwrapped toys for children in need.

Sports Prep Star -- Lu Magia Hearns
De La Salle - Concord
- Football - Junior
Playing against the program that his dad starred for 25 years ago, Lu Magia Hearns delivered an electric five-minute sequence that helped the Spartans defeat Pittsburg 49-7 in the North Coast Section Division I championship game on Nov. 29. With three minutes left in the first half, Hearns took a screen pass and found daylight down the left sideline for a 61-yard touchdown. On the third play of Pittsburg's ensuing possession, Hearns intercepted Jerry Johnson's pass and returned it 60 yards for a 35-0 De La Salle halftime lead. The Spartans (12-1) have now won 28 consecutive NCS titles. They will once again represent Northern California in the CIF Open Division State Bowl game on Dec. 14.
