Day 18: A Force for Change


Next week Friday, June 24,

is "Bill and Warren Day".


You may not see it in Hallmark stores just yet,
but it's a movement that's sweeping the nation!

One day a year set aside to celebrate the power of business as a force for change, by recognizing the commitment made by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to create a better world with our commitment to do the same. http://www.billandwarrenday.com/

"It's the anniversary of the day in 2006 when billionaire Warren Buffett announced that he would give his vast fortune to charity, with the bulk of the proceeds going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Bill and Warren Day honors this spirit of giving back, and invites companies and individuals to pledge to celebrate the day at their place of business on June 24."
