the presentation of gifts. "People ask
me why I'm crying but if you were a
parent and you couldn't provide for
your kids, you'd understand."
This year's recipients benefitted
from the generosity of more than 35
campus organizations and eight com
munity sponsors, explained event co
founder Joevan Palmer, a senior sports
management major from Syracuse,
N Y. Though he will soon be graduat
ing, Palmer said he was glad to have
the chance to leave behind a philan
thropic legacy.
"I've been blessed and fortunate
enough to have the things that I have in

said.
Boston
native
Courtney
Thompson will
take the helm
of the celebra
tion - which is
presented by
the school s
Campus Life Marketing Committee,
Alphi Phi Alpha Fraternity. Inc. and the
Campus Activities Board - next year.
The Benefit, which increases the num
ber of families it serves each year,
holds special meaning for Thompson, a
junior. justice studies major. Her own
family was once the beneficiary of a
similar project.
i really like helping out the com
munity and this is a great opportunity
to do so. and it's just really close to my
heart helping out other kids," said the
20 year-old. the third of four children.
"1 always had a big heart for stuff like
that because they helped my mother. It
meant a lot because I knew she was
struggling."
Junior Class Council president
Jayson Dawkins and Junior Class
Senator Nick Gilchrist were among the
students who adopted families this
year. Dawkins. a Charlotte native, said
he felt good about contributing to the
cause.
"I can't stop smiling," said the
political science major. "It's for a great
cause." ?
Gilchrist, a native of Wagram. said
participating in the event was simply
the right thing to do.
"It 's really just reminded me of how

important it is to give back when you
can. If you have the opportunity to
give back, you should," said the
English major. "I'm very excited to see
their reactions (to the gifts)."
For Pamela Moore, an employee of
Rock-Tenn packing company since
2008, the event was a bright spot in
what has been a trying week. Moore,
the mother of four children, and her
husband had been taking turns camping
out at the bedside of her oldest son,
who was recently hospitalized with an
infection. On top of that, the family is
trying to make ends meet on one salary.
Moore's husband is currently out of
work;
"It was great to come out here,"
Moore said as she enjoyed herself at
the event.
Jon Gentry, a sous chef for
Aramark, one of the event's sponsors,
helped to prepare the sumptuous meal
the attendees enjoyed. Gentry - a
graduate of Second Harvest Food
Bank's Triad Community Kitchen pro
gram, said he was hopeful the home
style Thanksgiving meal of turkey,
greens, macaroni, stuffing, fresh salad
and cobbler would help to put smiles
on the faces of the families.
"What drove me to cook in the first
place was to make sure that somebody
has a good day, has a good time.
Generally, people tie a great meal with
a good experience," explained the 25
year-old. "It's just wonderful to be
able to see people that are in a bind still
be able to have a good time and be able
to push for a brighter day."
