BUCHANAN, Va. – Gavin Price of Buchanan hoped to help the hungry with his 8th birthday party this weekend, but no one showed up. “I hope he remembers it all,” said Gavin’s father, Bill Price. “Not just the good part, but the bad part.”Gavin’s father said his son originally didn’t want a birthday party but decided to have one in order to collect jars of peanut butter for the hungry. The Philadelphia Eagles’ owners heard about Gavin’s cause as well, and sent him a special surprise for the party. “I’ve told him before, ‘Don’t try to change the world, just try to change the little area where you live,’" Bill Price said.
