The best forms of knowledge are lessons shared.

When did you first learn about the values and messages of The Ultimate Gift? What were the lessons that particularly moved you? Who informed you about the “Weekend Of Giving” and how this unique fund-raising effort can help support a wonderful cause? Please spend a moment thinking about what inspired you to become involved in this story that fully unfolds in theaters beginning tomorrow. Then, make certain there’s not someone else who you have yet to tell. The Gift of Learning - like all of the 12 Gifts explained in this magical movie – is only lived to its fullest when shared. So, make it a point to remind everyone that the movie opens tomorrow and how their ticket purchases can benefit your cause.

Learn the value of ‘walking’ in your family’s shoes.

"In Your Shoes" is a fun activity developed by Once Upon A Family to help your family better appreciate and understand the unique lives of each one of you. Put everyone’s name in a hat and have each family member draw a name. Each person then uses a piece of paper and a marker or crayon to trace the foot of the family member selected, and then writes out three or more things that make that person different from them. These traits could include, for example, the person’s position in the family, what’s important to them, what they worry about, or what makes them happy. Talk over these differences together and create a dialogue about how important it is to respect and appreciate each other’s own special traits. Every member of the family will have a better idea of what it takes to live "In Their Shoes". And, together, your family will have enjoyed yet another rewarding step on the lifelong journey made possible by The Gift Of Learning.
