Making a Difference: Blaze Trumble and Community Associations Institute of Nevada
Most kids want a hot new video game or an iPhone for their birthday, but that’s not the case with eight-year-old Blaze Trumble. For the past three years, Blaze has celebrated his special day by supporting the community, a trend that continued this past holiday season as Blaze teamed up with Community Associations Institute of Nevada to help the homeless and those in need.
Blaze spearheaded the most recent “Blanket the Community” drive and collected over 600 jackets and blankets for the needy in Las Vegas. He even asked his friends for donations instead of birthday gifts. This was his fourth year embarking on his charity venture, fulfilling his annual birthday wish. Community Associations Institute of Nevada, whose local chapter serves the needs of volunteer leaders and professionals throughout the Las Vegas and Reno areas, is honored to be a part of making Blaze’s dream a reality. “We are very pleased to join in this endeavor to help the less fortunate,” said CAI Executive Director Mary Rendina.
Goodwill and compassion are nothing new for Blaze, a fact that makes his parents proud. “Blaze hopes to make his birthday wish come true once again and give to those who need it most,” said his mother Frannie Trumble. “A small gesture can go a long way, especially to those in need.”
