I have been focusing on growing the business for last 24 years and never spent any effort to support communities surrounding us. That all changed this year on March 11. When the Earthquake and Tsunami hit northern Japan, we know we had to do something. We announced that we were going to much donations to Japan, and we are able to raise over $70,000 in 5 days.
It has been almost 5 months, people around us still thanking us and recognizing us for what we did. We did not do anything to be thanked or recognized. We did what we thought necessary, nothing more.
Last Friday, we were recognized at Lenny Wilkens Odessa Brown Charity Auction for our community support. Again, we did not do this, and people did not have have to recognize us. But I must say, we are very honored. This award gives us motivation to work harder, create better products so that we can give more back to communities that made us what we are.
Thank you.
