There’s no better feeling during the Holiday season than to see someone’s reaction when they’ve received an amazing gift; in this case the gift was an opportunity.

Last week, my co-workers, friends, and family attending the 4th Annual Magic and Miracles Gala in D.C. Magic and Miracles is a fundraising event benefiting Ready, Willing and Working;

“Ready, Willing and Working (RWW) empowers individuals to break the cycles of homelessness, welfare dependency and criminal recidivism through a residential, paid-work rehabilitation program offering a holistic approach and supportive services that allow participants to achieve permanent self-sufficiency.”

Nancy Squires, my fellow Squires Group co-workers and I were honored at the gala for the support we’ve given over the past four years. Please take a minute to watch this video that shows you exactly what we love so much about RWW: click here to watch.

It was truly a wonderful and inspiring event. I’d like to give a special thanks to Patty Brosmer, Founder and Director of RWW, and Kelly Maslar for all of their hard work and dedication to not only make this a fantastic event, but for their dedication to improving the lives of the “Men in Blue.”
