On the evening of January 6th, Robert celebrated Noche De Reyes hosted by La Quinta De Los Reyes in Aurora, IL. The night was filled with several hundred kids and their family members from Aurora and surrounding communities who also gathered to celebrate and receive toys, gifts, candy and more. Pictured is Robert with Congressman Foster talking to and handing each child bags of candy. It was a truly remarkable night and Robert wants to personally thank the Aurora Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as well as all the community leaders who supported these families.
