About the organization:
Share the Spirit Foundation (STS) was formed in 2003 to “provide for those in need.” With the help of many contributors, STS has collected thousands of dollars to help kids, families and those too ill to help themselves.
In the short period of time since we have been organized, hundreds of shoes and socks have been distributed to children of all ages. We have worked with schools and social service agencies to see that the STS funds make it to those who need a hand. In addition, donations have also bought hiking boots and scheduled outdoor camps for kids who have never had the opportunity to experience a summer camp. In 2005 we coordinated with the US troops in Iraq to distribute shoes to children in that area. And in 2006, STS became involved with effforts to assist families rebuilding after hurricane Katrina.
In honor of those who endure their own personal struggles, we have vowed to coordinate the efforts of STS with a personal challenge of our own. In the course of its conception, we have challenged ourselves physically by hiking the Grand Canyon, walking the Colorado Trail and backpacking in the high country of the Sangre de Cristo mountains.
Join us March 29 in Chicago to meet Mario Rizzotti, celebrity judge on the popular Food Network Series, Iron Chef America and Acadamia Barilla's Italian Culinary Specialist. RSVP / Event Details / More about Mario Rizzotti / Video
