Hey folks,

I received a notice from FedEx on Thursday for a package that needed to be picked up. Since tracking showed it was from Carlsbad, I presumed it was my UD Artifacts/Ultra/etc redemptions. Went to FedEx to pick it up and despite Thursday being the first (and final) attempt and it was supposed to be at the depot, it was back on a truck for delivery. Got home with the knowledge that the delivery attempt would be between 2:00 and 2:30, which was great because I have to pick up my daughter at school at 3.

Just after 2 comes around, the FedEx guy comes by and drops it off and it wasn't my redemptions, but it was a box from UD for their Random Act of Kindness promotion. Needless to say, I was quite touched to receive the care/card package from them.

It was quite fun digging thru the box and opening 3 boxes of cards and some loose packs. In the spirit of giving, if anyone needs anything from this - please let me know and I will be sure to pay it forward.

First things first, the Bennett puck will be sent to Calgary where I've tasked another outstanding HI member to find a deserving person for the puck.

Secondly, I want to publicly thank the person who nominated me, Upper Deck and Chris Carlin for the care package. It's much appreciated and a phenomenal gesture.

Thanks again,

Kevin Mitchell

Great read Kev. Couldn't happen to a nicer more generous person.

Kudos to Upper Deck for a great program as well as the person who nominated you.

Thanks for sharing.
 
That's An Awesome program! Congrats on the sweet stuff!

Plmk if you are willing to move your Ortio Artifacts /999 and if you see anything in my trade list you want for it.

Great story! Chris is great about picking lomg-term, dedicated collectors and showing them some sincere - and I do mean sincere - appreiation to you as a collector. Not only this, they coordinate volunteer efforts for our troops and for sick kids.No expectations in return, they just really enjoy bringing happiness to others!
 
Kev you are an awesome guy. Who wouldn't want to nominate you. Very Deserving!!

Great read!! :)
