Every great accomplishment begins with a person with vision and determination to guide the vision to reality. We have the vision(s) and the committed people.
Now we need others to step to the plate financially. With financing, we can hire the management and coaches to develop the proper game plans, recruit the right players, create the fan (support) base and play the games.
Please consider joining our One in A Million Team!
These initial contributions will empower us to ramp up operations as we seek future financial partners. Support from individuals, churches, foundations, corporations, or non-profits, is more than welcome.
As the projects develop, we also look forward to help from volunteers.
The USA has significant need for visions / projects that will inspire individuals to set aside our differences and work together. And, we need to assume the leadership role in cleaner air, reforestation, and abundant water, plus improving life in the USA and in developing countries. When we help others, we help ourselves.
Donations of all sizes are appreciated.
