How cool is this...
Giving the gift of giving back Ken Sweet had a wonderful idea for Christmas presents for his
grandchildren. A long time Nantucket summer resident, Ken knew how important Nantucket’s nonprofits are to the Island. Ken also wanted to instill in his grandchildren the importance of giving back, so for Christmas he gave each child a check made payable to the Community Foundation, with instructions to direct us as to where their donation would go. Imagine their faces when they opened their gifts…What, no electronics? No new clothes? Really??? Instead, each child had to contact us to determine which Nantucket nonprofit would receive their gift. Not surprisingly, this year’s Christmas
Katelyn, Ben and Jojo Zieff, 2008
presents went to Mentoring Youth Nantucket, where their father David Zieff is the Executive Director.
