A simple act of kindness can go a long way, and that’s exactly what collector Ryan Peoples has been proving with his thoughtful initiative of repurposing surplus sports cards to bring joy to others, especially children. His mission is all about spreading positivity and making kids smile through the simple pleasure of receiving a pack of trading cards.
Ryan’s efforts extend to various groups, from kids at his wife’s school to patients at the infusion clinic where he works as a pharmacist. Cards also find their way to fans attending Idaho Falls Chukars games, adding an extra layer of excitement to their experience. However, it is during the holiday season that Ryan’s mission truly shines. By participating in Operation Christmas Child, he includes packs of trading cards in gift shoeboxes for children worldwide, sharing joy and positivity on a global scale.
The numbers speak for themselves—last year alone, Ryan managed to include 10,000 cards in over 300 shoeboxes, making a significant impact on children who may not otherwise receive such gifts. His commitment to using cards as a source of joy and positivity is an inspiration, and he encourages others to join in spreading happiness through small yet meaningful gestures.
If you have surplus cards gathering dust or simply want to make a difference this holiday season, consider reaching out to Ryan to contribute to his heartwarming cause. Your donations could be the key to bringing a smile to a child’s face and making a positive impact in their lives. After all, in a world where kindness is a precious commodity, every small act of generosity counts.
