HAPPY NEW YEAR Message from the Grobans |
Lead | |
|
As we reflect on the year past, with it's unending series of tragedies, both global and personal, we set our focus on a year of extraordinary accomplishment. We want to take this opportunity to celebrate the beginning of a new year with new opportunities ahead, by celebrating you the fans. You have made all things seem possible, professionally for Josh, for our family and for our fledgling foundation. We raise our glasses to you for all you have given us. It is a gift that continues to overwhelm, to humble and to make us all continue to do our best on your behalf. You have continued to value Josh's music and his performance on tour and we are so grateful! On a whole other level, you have done amazing things over the last year. At the end of 2004, because of your generosity, we became a foundation. We could never have imagined the catastrophes that lie ahead but as always you were up to the challenge and you continued to give your money, your time, energy and talent. There was no end to your passion. You made blankets with personal notes for children orphaned by AIDs in South Africa, you made pillow cases and totes for the children at Shriner's Hospital, you put together going away packages for the students from the South Central Gifted Scholar Fund so they could start their freshman year knowing they had a lot of love and support. You exceeded the success of last year's Toys for Tots drive by donating more toys from a single entity in the history of Toys for Tots. Your talent has provided us with fantastic auction items, beautiful photographs, great art and T-shirts that have enabled Grobanities for Charity to raise more than $300,000 for The Josh Groban Foundation. Because of you, we have made donations to Mercy Corps, Save the Children, Operation USA, South Central Gifted Scholar Fund, 46664 and Zamimpilo projects. So, here's to you, the fans, with all our heartfelt thanks and appreciation. You are simply the best! We look forward to a new year of your renewed energy, spirit, creativity and support. Best wishes from all of us for a healthy, happy new year and peace to all. Jack, Lindy, Chris and Josh

Aww. It's YOU GUYS we have to be thankful for. Without you, we wouldn't have done any of that. You're all our inspirations & I know that I had SO much fun making the soaps & the blanket & pillows (my first!) for the "Parade of Baskets" auction.
A toast to you: Have a happy, healthy, & absolutely WILD 2006. We will ALWAYS be here for you guys.

It is YOU who inspire us - Josh gives so much of himself to charity, and us - well, we just have to follow our leader. We will do better next year.

Jack, Lindy, Josh, and Chris,
Thank YOU so much for all your generosity of time and spirit over the past year... You don't get thanked enough for all the sacrifices you make, as a family, to do so much for us. Thank you for allowing us to "borrow" Josh for such a long tour. Happy New Year, and here's to even bigger and better things in 2006! |

Thank you for your New Year's message to all of us here in Grobania. You, as a family, are truly an inspiration to all of us. When people ask me about Josh and his music, I also include information about the many charities that he and his family are involved in---best way I know of to "Spread the Josh". Kathy

Awww! That was such an amazing post (as always!). Thanks so much for your kind words, in this time of the year. It's not only Josh's music that makes us feel better at some moments, and makes us wanna improve ourselves, but also all of you, as a family, that inspire many grobanites. We're how we're because of you, such an amazing and loveable family!

What a lovely heartfelt message, and can I say 'right back atcha'? Your entire family is such an inspiration, and I hope that every year is bigger, better and more generous on behalf of the Foundation. Josh is a gift to us, and any amount of good we can do in the world as a tribute, consider it done.
2006 will hopefully have alot less tragedy, and alot more FUN!! |
