About NATE
Nate's Dream
In 2020, Nate had a dream/wish to donate his Christmas gifts to the
kids in his community that were in foster care. He wanted them to have a blessed Christmas. Nate mentioned that he wanted the kids to receive sports equipment too so they can learn a new sport to stay active and healthy. Our hearts were touched to hear his wish; therefore, we reached out and partnered with CASA of the Coastal Bend to host a Toy & Sports Equipment Christmas Toy Drive. Contributions were collected in excess of Toys, Sports Equipment and Monetary donations for the kids at CASA of the Coastal Bend.
The success we had in 2020 was amazing and he wanted to continue to BE THE CHANGE and that is how NATE'S NEXT KID UP was created.
