In November of last year Richard Dean Anderson made a guest appearance to the Quench the Fire Charity run/walk as part of his Purple Heart project for the Pain Center.
As part of an incentive idea, the Quench the fire charity trust had decided to give away 2 tickets to Disneyland in LA to “anyone surpassing the $1,000 mark in fund raising”.
As it turned out the Purple Heart project’s fund raising was much more successful than anyone had hoped and went well beyond the $1,000 mark.
The project, however, decided that no-single person could accept the tickets as they where all equally responsible for the success. So as a result of that, they have decided to pass the tickets onto the Challenges Boys and Girls Club in LA in the hope that they could put the tickets to good use and help put a smile on a child’s face.
You will recall that the Challengers club featured in several episodes of MacGyver as his chosen place of volunteer work and with RDA being involved in the Purple Heart project, one can only imagine that his MacGyver connection may have helped influence the pointing of these tickets in the Challengers club’s worthy direction.
