DONATIONS ROLL IN. JASON, IT HAS BEEN SUCH AN INCREDIBLE MORNING HERE AT THE BREVARD ZOO IN VIERA. WE HAVE ANOTHER REMARKABLE DONATION FROM NONE OTHER THAN THE DIVINE NINE. THESE INCREDIBLE SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES, HISTORICALLY BLACK FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES, WHICH I’M SO PROUD TO BE A PART OF. NONETHELESS, WE’RE SO GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE DONATIONS. DAVID PAYNE FROM KAPPA ALPHA PSI FRATERNITY, INCORPORATED, SORT OF LEADING THE CHARGE WITH YOUR FELLOW BROTHERS AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE D NINE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR CHRISTMAS. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I DO HAVE TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF APPRECIATION TO OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE AND OUTREACH CHAIR, BROTHER ERIC SANDS, WHO HAS SINCE RELOCATED FROM THE AREA BUT STILL LED ALL OF THE COORDINATION EVENTS TO MAKE SURE THE D NINE WAS INCORPORATED TODAY. SO THANK YOU. THAT IS AWESOME. THE D NINE HELD A DONATION DRIVE AT GATOR’S DOCKSIDE, AND LET’S SHOW OUR VIEWERS WHAT YOU ALL WERE ABLE TO COLLECT. LET’S WALK OVER THIS WAY. SO TELL ME HOW YOU ALL MANAGED TO GET ALL OF THESE DONATIONS. WELL, THE KEY TO THAT, AGAIN, WAS ERIC’S LEADERSHIP AND TAKING THE VISION BEYOND JUST OUR CHAPTER AND REALLY SEEING AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE THE IMPACT TO THE COMMUNITY BY INVOLVING ALL OF THE D NINE. AND THEN AGAIN, GATOR’S DOCKSIDE AT THE MELBOURNE LOCATION OFF OF WICKHAM ROAD. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL PARTNERS WITH US, MAKING SURE THAT THEY ADVERTISE APPROPRIATELY AND EVEN DONATED GREATLY TO THE EVENT ITSELF. SO PART OF WHAT YOU SEE HERE WAS ACTUALLY DONATED BY GATOR’S DOCKSIDE, AND THE PATRONS THAT NIGHT. THAT’S FANTASTIC. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR CHRISTMAS. THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO WERE ABLE TO DONATE DURING THAT EVENT. WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE MORE DONATIONS FROM YOU ALL, AND WE’RE SO HAPPY THAT YOU ALL WERE ABLE TO JOIN US TODAY. LET’S CHECK IN NOW AGAIN WITH OUR COLLEAGUE OVER IN OSCEOLA COUNTY, WESH
