>> The Wawa coffee cart is here. >> Thank you.
>> What can we get you?
You want cream and sugar in your coffee?
>> Did I hear coffees too?
>> One needs cream and sugar.
>> All right.
>> Hello, I'm Dick. Nice to meet you.
>> Thank you, this is fantastic. >> You're welcome.

>> Philanthropy at Wawa's always been just part of who we are.
It's been so grass roots in many ways and it goes back to things like Dick Wood pushing
the CHOP coffee cart often and demonstrating by example as a leader.
This is what you do to give back.
>> You want the coffee?
>> Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you so much.
>> You're welcome.
>> There's great power in the example of philanthropy.
And for Dick Wood, I have the impression that the power of his father's example and commitment
to the Children's Hospital was an inspiration.
>> Dick Wood is unlike any other CEO I've encountered.
He has heart.
He has compassion.
He has empathy.
He has humility.
He puts people first; he puts himself second.
>> Back in the '80s and '90s when he was CEO of Wawa, he would drive a Honda Accord around.
He was very proud of that.
He thought that was the greatest thing and everybody in the organization knew they couldn't
get a better car than a Honda Accord, even though he never asked that.
But his modesty kind of drove that and everybody wanted to see that led by example.
>> I often say, "I share my father with a lot of people, who I think look at him in
a very father-like manner." And I'm just fine with that.
I really kind of feel honored that so many people feel that way about him and we get
the privilege of actually calling him, "Dad."
>> Hi, may I help you?
>> Hi, how're you doing?
>> And Wawa's milk is always fresh and delicious because we have our very own dairy.
>> We do it just a little bit better, Wawa.
>> Everyone loves Wawa, and for good reason.
It was my privilege to serve with Dick on the CHOP Board of Trustees for many years.
And his service and loyalty and leadership is just totally unquestioned.
It's just the Wood family, just gives and gives and gives, and really doesn't ask for
anything in return.
>> You're not camera-shy, are you?
>> He loves it.
>> Dick always talked about our great-great-grandfather.
I call him the Founder of the Feast.
He was the person who was one of the founders of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
Insurance Company of North America, the Philadelphia Bank.
He was the true quintessential businessman.
I look at my brother as the second Founder of the Feast, for the Wood family.
Dick did it with good core values, with grace, and humbleness, and he basically has made
a lot of people a lot better off today than they would have been if he hadn't existed.
>> I'm not sure there would be a CHOP without the Wood family, because the Wood family was
a major contributor to the hospital getting founded.
So, that is a very long legacy and impact.
I can't imagine -- the two are linked, you know.
We're just linked forever.
>> When you think about Children's Hospital having some relationship to the Wood family,
at the creation, at the start in the 1850s, and has had some connection ever since, I
would imagine, that might be one of the longest partnerships between a family and a hospital
of any in the country.
>> All the things you've done in your life will disappear and become flecks of dust on
the pages of history.
But, the things that are found and discovered, and put to use in our research, will be saving
children's lives thousands of years from now, and you will have had a part of that, because
children are the hope of the future and you can make a real difference in that.

>> Thanks a lot.
>> Thanks, Mr. Wood.
>> Thank you, Dick.
>> I had a brother who was born, his name was Randy, and he was born a blue baby.
And he died after three or four months.
Today, they wouldn't have any problem treating.
And so, if you just start working for Children's Hospital, it becomes a part of your life.
>> Thank you.
>> It's just a great feeling to know that you're helping out.
>> Thanks, Mr. Wood.
