Best Little Team in the Land

So it was this past Thanksgiving morning that we put on multiple layers and headed out into the freezing cold morning to do what we love to do, run, walk and for some, just be with a crowd of about 25,000 others doing something good for this little city, this community, this place on the planet we call home. The "Run to Feed the Hungry" is a testament of this city's commitment to the needs of the less fortunate.

The Sacramento Food Bank is truly an inspiring organization run by my friend, Blake Young.

Team Lucca has participated in the "Run to Feed the Hungry" for 8 years now and in an effort to take the giving back idea up a notch has held a homespun raffle at the post team brunch the last three years.
