Last fall when thousands of volunteers joined President Jimmy Carter & Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles to build 100 homes thoughout the community, one volunteer was significantly moved.Ryan Braun was an Honorary House Leader during the JCWP and for those of you who don't know the name, Braun plays for the Milwaukee Brewers and was voted National League Rookie of the Year last year in 2007!
When Braun built with us last fall, he pledged he'd donate his Rookie of the Year bonus money to Habitat so we could further our mission and this week he did just that. You can read the official press release here.
We just wanted to say to Ryan, on behalf of all our current and future partner families, THANK YOU!

Hi,
Your blog about building houses those in need is truly inspirational. The Save the Children organization is similar to you in that they are on a mission to help those less fortunate around the world.
I wanted to let you know about the More than Footprints campaign Trip Advisor is running to give away $1 million to five great causes, including Save the Children. Trip Advisor developed the campaign to give to organizations that are doing amazing work to help our planet and people around the world. The five causes were chosen by Trip Advisor members, and they are all fantastic! Money is rewarded to the 5 charities through votes.
I am particularly enthusiastic about Save the Children because I love kids believe in their mission in working together to help needy children in the United States and around the world through healthcare and education.
Will you write about this amazing campaign, and encourage people to vote for Save the Children! Please post the link to vote: :

I will be blogging about the campaign through a Trip Advisor site (http://morethanfootprints.typepad.com/votesavethechildren/) and I would be happy to post about your blog as well. Please let me know if you would like more information and I'll keep you updated on the voting progress!
Thanks so much,
Wendy Huang
