CAN-DO’s over all goal is to design a model for RCR’s (Community Revitalization Center’s) not only throughout the Gulf Coast but around the world. This center will be designed to facilitate registered, non profit organizations under one roof and with one common goal- to work together efficiently and responsibly. Organizations working within the center would fall under one 501c3. Rather than donating millions of dollars to one specific organization they can donate to several groups under one umbrella organization, eliminating any doubt that donations are being used ineffectively. This will prove to be an effective plan because it will not only hold organizations accountable for the amount of funds collected but will also eliminate the “Red Tape” and careless spending.

The North Face should be proud of their staff. We would like to, especially, thank Jesica Rivers and Pamela Bennett, from The North Face, who were so kind in helping us coordinate and make this happen. Thank you for all your unsurpassing effort from day one. Read more
