Community Partners of Dallas is a great nonprofit celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. The year culminated with them attempting to break the Guinness record for the most red wagons in a parade. Before Saturday, that number was 147...Drum roll please... and as of Saturday afternoon the new record is 288! Take that non-Texans! Boo yah!!
The Tyrant wanted to participate because 1) she believes in the mission of CPD - ensuring safety and restoring dignity and hope to abused and neglected children by providing resources and support to the caseworkers of Dallas County Child Protective Services, 2) she has friends who work there - life spent in the nonprofit trenches is hard enough - it's always better when you have someone in your corner rooting for you and 3) CPD "lives" (offices) in the same neighborhood as the nonprofit employing The Tyrant - gotta support anything going on in the Wilson!
It was so much fun - The Tyrant even decorated her wagon. Plus we got about 4,000 steps in during our parade. Here are some pictures from the event. Enjoy!
