Our group will help non-profit organizations raise funds for good causes and worthy projects. "To whom much is given much is expected."
For the next 24 months we will help raise funds for Doctors Without Borders. Our goal is to raise $50,000 in 24 months through fundraisers and donations.
Let me share with you the story of why I decided to champion this cause by raising funds to help Doctors Without Borders to provide health and nutritional services to people in need. I watched 60 Minutes on Sunday, June 22nd 2008 and there was a segment "Miracle Food Saves Lives (Plumpynut is a cheap, nutritious food that is saving starving children in the developing world.) Anderson Cooper reported why this product is effective and how it could save even more lives if Doctor Without Borders could make it readily available to children that need it It costs $1 per serving per child per day. I felt compelled to help and felt that others may feel compelled to do the same. Please watch the 60 Minutes segment
