Dawn Worrall began sending holiday packages to military service members stationed overseas in 2013 just before her son Peter Worrall '14 graduated from SGS and left to attend West Point.  The "300 Boodle Brigade" that she organized sent over 1,000 boxes of clothing and goodies overseas in the last two months of 2019!  The Spokesman-Review featured Dawn in their Christmas Day edition (read the Full Article) as one of a series of local "Difference Makers" who "dedicated time and energy to improving people's lives".
