Cool Thing To Do On Thanksgiving

Dear Patients & Friends,

On Thanksgiving Day, the non-profit I co-founded, Young Men's Ultimate Weekend Young Men's Ultimate Weekend, will be packing up food into boxes and then have a special delivery team bring the food to the homeless in San Francisco. We call this event, "Operation T Day".

Volunteering Brings You Pleasure

There's lots of research which reveals that people experience deep happiness through the selfless behavior that volunteering offers. When people give of themselves generously, without needing anything in return, they often experience what is known as, "helpers high."

The mental, emotional and physical health benefits of volunteering at Operation T Day will make the rest of your day with family and friends even more satisfying.

Best of all, this is a great way for your children - especially tweens and teens - to develop the virtues of empathy and service. The sooner they experience the benefits of volunteering, the sooner they'll more likely be willing to help contribute to doing household chores.

What's the Time Commitment?

Whether you join us for two minutes or the entire two hours, YMUW will be thankful for your generosity of time. If you want to help yet can't be there, you're welcome to donate money to help us pay for the food.

We've been doing this work for many years and it's awesome being with lots of people - just like you - who care about the welfare of people who do not have as much food as we do.

We've been doing this community service work for many years. We have fun working with people who love to practice the virtue of Humor, which we define as, "amusement with fun, laughter and celebration."

By the time we go home to our families for the rest of Thanksgiving, we feel happy that we've helped others and had a fun-filled experience.

I hope to see you there!

True,
Dr. Mark
