On a perfect beach day on February 6, 2011, Manhattan Beach resident Jimmy G celebrated his 8th birthday with a party for his friends on the beach. When planning what to do for his birthday, Jimmy told his parents that, because he had lots of “things”, he did not want to have the kids bring gifts. Instead he thought it would be nice to be able to help someone. Their neighbor, LASW Leader Pat, along with the puppies in training came to mind.
Once they talked with Pat, they realized this was a perfect match. Each friend received information about GDB so they would understand more what Jimmy’s charity was all about. It was a wonderful party…boys and puppies, games and pizza on the beach… a win-win situation for all.
Many thanks to Jimmy for his generous spirit and to the partygoers who made generous donations.
