Why Footprints of Giving?
The name reflects the footprints people leave on our lives and those we leave on the lives of others. It asks us to think about who shaped us, whose life we have shaped and the legacy we will leave behind.
“Footprints of Giving is about the marks people leave on our lives and the marks we leave on others.”
