Read what happened today with #GuginoGiving!

We hit the road early on a Saturday morning to surprise the next winners of our #GuginoGiving "honoring others that serve others" campaign. With Buffalo Sabres tickets in hand, we surprised Dave and Tammy just as they finished teaching a class at Elevation Sports Academy in Dunkirk. The picture you see above is us filming them as we revealed the surprise. Just behind us were dozens of people who call Elevation Sports Academy home, and they erupted in applause and cheers when it happened. It was a VERY COOL MOMENT!

Here is the nomination that was sent in to our team by Rod and Sandra Sheridan. It's a powerful testimony of friendship, honor, and community. After you read it, visit our homepage to learn how you can do what Rod and Sandra did, and nominate someone who deserves to be the next winner of our #GuginoGiving campaign.

"I would like to nominate Tammy Racino and Dave Harriger for the Sabres tickets. When I think of two people who have dedicated so much of their time to helping others and expecting nothing in return, it's them. They worked for months helping plan my husband's benefit. They helped inspire members of the Elevation Sports Academy to also give back by assisting the Salvation Army, filling time slots ringing the bell. They also put on Pound benefits to support Breast Cancer, and have an upcoming 4H Pound for Puppies in February. The gym collected items for the Troops, and items to assist a local family who lost everything in a fire. Rod and I are honored to call them our good friends. On a side note Thank you again for recognizing Rod. We had an amazing time at the game. We truly live in an amazing community! ❤​"

Thanks for sharing their story, Rod and Sandra!

We look forward to hearing more great stories like this from our community, as we grow the #GuginoGiving idea together!
