I don't mean that negative way. I never got great pleasure out of it because I never really saw the effects of it. So about 15 years ago, I had a poker tournament in Wichita, Kansas for kids. At the time, it wasn't called GIFT, which is G-F-F-T, Genesis for Fitness and Tennis, but it was just for these underprivileged kids. And I saw my team, my staff couldn't wait to volunteer their time to help.

They just couldn't wait. They loved to see me passionate about helping. Now it's this huge foundation that we started, but it's only for local, local kids. And I get a lot of, it's pretty rewarding.

It used to start out as a couple hundred, and we ran out, and now it's a couple thousand pairs of shoes we give kids to these underprivileged areas in Wichita. My mom goes all the time, and she cries every time. It's amazing. It's sad, but it's still amazing when you give somebody their first brand-new pair of shoes.

Now, Dan, we're talking about somebody that's 13 or 14 years old, and they get their first brand-new pair of shoes. And it just blows your mind of how the things that we take for granted. So... To answer your question, how is it important?

I don't know if it's important for everyone, but it was amazing when now how much of our team, our big team, they look forward to volunteering their time because they got that same feeling inside when they see it.

Send him to the spa or whatever. And we just do random stuff. And that's all anonymous. And it's like, as bad as it is, I get a lot of pleasure out of it.
