The Herrick family and its many branches are a blessed bunch. We are healthy, educated and we have not suffered the sickness, poverty and war that blanket much of the world today.

Christmas is a time to be thankful for what we have, and a time for giving. As a family we have much to be thankful for and much to give.  Together we can create a legacy to be proud of, and to pass down through future generations. A legacy of accepting responsibility for our fellow man, and for ourselves.  A time to put personal greed and instant gratification aside.  Let us make giving a way of life.

It is time for us to change how we celebrate Christmas!

Our world is evolving negatively in many ways..  Let's make a positive change for ourselves, our children, our country, and ultimately, our world!

We Herricks challenge you to encourage other families. Together, imagine what a world we can create!

So instead of killing yourself this holiday to find the perfect gift for everyone (knowing that none of us need of another mug warmer or fruitcake), give a gift of charity.  A charitable donation in the name of every person on your Christmas list would make a tremendous impact.

Help us change lives!

Send your loved ones and your clients a Herrick Legacy coupon (see below) and let them know where your heart is this Christmas.

May you have a blessed and wonderful Christmas,

The Herrick Family
