My mom and I have a local non profit here in DC called Operation Santa Success. Thanks to donations from the employees of the Dept. of Homeland Security, Dept. of Education and DC Circulator, yesterday we gave every student of a local elementary school, school supplies, uniforms and Holiday toys. Originally I could only afford about 4 sets of wrestling figures w/ shipping, but then I remember Ringside sells figures loose, so I was able to add two more sets. Thanks Ringside. Here's what I picked up. I have an interesting story and I hope it doesn't offend anyone. I had a young student of muslim faith "check in" at the "naughty or nice" desk and in the midst of our conversation, I asked if he were a wrestling fan. His eyes lit up. I asked if he had a favorite superstar and he told me John Cena. So I proceeded to hand him one of the wrapped sets of figures but he put his head down and said that he couldn't have it and walked away. The school counselor ran over to me and said that he's not allowed to accept Christmas presents, but I could present it to him if it wasn't wrapped in Holiday styled paper. I turned away from the desk, quickly tore off a portion of the paper and ran over to the kid to give him a Cena figure. He gave me the biggest hug and smile I saw all day. Anyway, Happy Holiday's WFigs fam! Army of figs thanks to rsctrevorHere is the "Naughty or Nice" checkin desk. LOL

It's not really rare. People on here donate figures all the time to toy donation drives. There's plenty more but you don't hear about it because some don't feel the need to publish it. Bravo to the op. Thanks for sharing bud. Merry Christmas
