Delivering Kindness -- Spreading the Word

A very special thank you to The St. Petersburg Times/Brandon & South Shore Times for their kindnesses! In November of this year, I placed a call to the newspaper to inquire about purchasing an advertisement that would ask people to join us in our celebration of Heller on December 22nd. Mr. Tony Del Castillo, Tampa Advertising Sales Manager listened to my story and offered guidance, but most importantly, he took our conversation to heart and invited us into his office to discuss our mission with members of the staff that could help to further deliver Heller’s story.

There, Mr. Doug Bennett, Bureau Chief, and Ms. Aubrey Primrose, Advertising Account Executive, took time out of their busy schedules to meet with us and further our mission. We were overjoyed. As we listened to their ideas about growing our story, we knew that Random Acts of Kindness Because of Heller would be a huge success. Because of their kindnesses, today, when the paper is delivered to its readers, Heller’s kindness will inspire more people than we ever imagined!
