Sleep Experts President Christine Cook (pictured) is a busy gal. You would think that co-chairing the Trains at NorthPark on behalf of the Ronald McDonald House would keep her busy during the holidays.
But, no!
She and the Sleep Experts elves are donating 100 beds to support Rev. S.M. Wright’s “Bed for Needy Kids” program. You probably didn’t know that 1,000 children in Dallas have to sleep on the floor because they don’t have beds.
The donation of the beds is all a part of the S.M. Wright Foundation‘s 12th Annual Christmas in the Park at Fair Park. Thousands of South Dallas families will attend the event hoping to receive basic necessities or perhaps a toy. Organizers are predicting 30,000 residents will participate in this year’s program.
BTW, last year more than 3,000 people lined up the night before to be the first to enter the event in the Automobile Building.
The Wright Foundation has come a long way since that first year when they served less than 200 underprivileged kids.
