Greetings!

As a supporter of the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation, you know that volunteers are integral to the success of GTSF's programming. Over the past two years we've seen tremendous growth in our volunteer base, but WHY?
  
The University of Kansas would like to find out.  KU's College of Liberal Arts & Sciences is conducting a nationwide survey to determine WHY? people choose to volunteer.  Please consider taking a few minutes to participate to help them, and us, better understand your reasons for volunteering not only with GTSF, but with other causes and organizations!
