There is no age limit in Ron and Don Nation.

Isaac, an 8-year-old who goes to Margaret Mead Elementary in Sammamish, and his mom emailed Ron and Don about a benefit they put together based on the show’s constant call to come up with ways to give back to the community. They started Isaac’s Warm & Fuzzy Blanket Drive, collecting blankets from friends, neighbors, co-workers and strangers. They told Ron and Don that delivered 65 blankets to the Union Gospel Mission in December. Next year’s goal is 100.

‘There are some people that are not as lucky as us,” said Isaac, a second grader.

And what he learned from all of this? “It’s good to help people,” he said.
