Hey Do Good Crew,

Sometimes, a simple invitation is all it takes to bring people together. This week:

  • Spotlight: After losing his wife, a North Dakota man found a way to carry on something they loved doing together. Now, his driveway is bringing neighbors closer.

  • The Person Who Believed In Me: Before Heather McMahan made it big, comedy legend Joan Rivers told her she had what it takes. Years later, Heather hasn't forgotten those words.

  • Dear David: A Texas couple turned a family dinner tradition into a weekly gathering where strangers find good food, great company, and a place to belong.

  • Goodie Bag: Before her grandparents passed away, a woman made an unusual request. Years later, she says they're still answering.

  • Beg-Knows America: I brought my parents back to see Brooks & Dunn. We talked about 35 years together, and my surprise wasn’t the only one.

Before we get into it, we have some exciting news to share! The Do Good Crew newsletter has been named a finalist for this year's Anthem Awards, which recognize work making a positive impact in the world. We're honored to be recognized, and your support would mean a lot to us.

With gratitude,
David
