145 and counting



As a firm believer in using business as a force for good, I was quite pleased to learn about Nike’s donation of $100K to Brian Bordainick’s Field of Dreams. Brian is 23, ambitious, and embarking on one of the largest civic engagement projects in New Orleans.

George Washington Carver High School’s resurrection occurred in the wake of Katrina and in the heart of the 9th ward. Three and a half years later the Mighty Rams find their football team practicing on an abandoned parking lot and busting their humps to raise dollars for a new community sports space providing an unprecedented resource to the city and everyone in it.

With just under five months to raise ONE MILLION dollars, there is a long road ahead.

Which begs the question, what if ten more businesses made the same commitment?
Please, suggest away. Champion? Hanes?

Thank you for sharing today sir

i wanna see this

saturday response

those numbers are incredible. makes me question what is after facebook and ask what is up with the recent popularity of twitter? its been around 2 years and just now getting talked about with regularity, guess its the growth of mobile phones (quick poll: how many of you are reading this on one?). i wonder if we could form some sort of arrangement where when you visit our site through a particular service provider "x" was donated to one of our nonprofit partners or projects.

also thought to forward this just in case you haven't seen it - could make for interesting transparencies or possibly incorporated into the ecosystem
