  • 0:00 - 0:03
    Neil, on his 10th birthday party, he does something different.
  • 0:03 - 0:07
    He says, "I'm going to invite all my friends and we are going to do a free car wash for the community."
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    So they had their board and their gingle
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    and all these strangers pulled up on the driveway.
  • 0:12 - 0:17
    They split up into the pre-rinse team, the soap team, the rinse team, the tire team.
  • 0:17 - 0:18
    They were just going at it.
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    Now imagine if you are pulling up in one of these cars.
  • 0:21 - 0:25
    The people come out of these cars and they are completely bowled over.
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    They are like, "What are you doing this for? Is this a fundraiser? That's amazing! I'd like to contribute.
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    "No, no, we are not doing this for a fundraiser. We are actually just practicing generosity."
  • 0:35 - 0:41
    It was amazing to see the connections between these strangers and the kids, but what was even more amazing was how these kids bonded.
  • 0:42 - 0:47
    So you can be Facebook friends and those loose ties have their value.
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    You can go out to movies with your friends and those deep ties have their value.
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    Or you can serve others together
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    and that creates gift ties and those are priceless.
