In 2001, Chuck's Kids was awarded the Everyday Hero award from Channel
7 news. This is the story that they presented:
"Fifteen years ago, Chuck Woodring and his daughter Kathy
Mestnik, provided Christmas for four families. Today, they give
toys to more than fifteen hundred kids! They call their project
"Chucks Kids." They no longer do it by themselves, they've got more
than 200 volunteer elves. For spreading holiday cheer to many families,
we honor Chuck and Kathy as this week's *7Everyday Heroes!*"
