CHARLIE

CHARLIE — close company friend — was suddenly diagnosed with lymphoma in the fall of 2024 and had to undergo seven months of expensive chemotherapy. He is now six months post-chemo and shows great signs of recovery, which as a cat present themselves as eating, sleeping, lounging and cuddling — a routine he assures us was prescribed by his doctor. We are absolutely thrilled at his progress and a bit jealous of his ongoing convalescence.

BUDDY

BUDDY — official company cat and self-elected CEO — developed an autoimmune disorder called “stomatitis” in which his immune system began to ruthlessly attack his own body, specifically the plague on his teeth, leading to incessant inflammation and infection. It is not known what causes stomatitis and the current recommendation is full dental extraction. He went into surgery the day after Charlie’s graduation, and like Charlie has made an incredible recovery. He is currently free of flare ups and medication, and is enjoying his life sleeping in the sun and talking to birds.

Training Communities to Achieve Maximum Potential

T-CAMP is an organization committed to ensuring every child has the support they need to thrive—not just academically, but as confident leaders and resilient individuals. They focus on three areas of life: academics, athletics, and family care, and organize fundraisers, auctions, holiday drives and basketball tournaments to support their mission and community. You can read more about them and find links to donate on their website here.

They are currently running “Christmas in the Community” and seeking holiday donations for up to 10 families that need it most.

We are proud every year to continue to support servicemen, first responders and their families, and are eternally grateful for their duty and sacrifice. This year we added the Wildland Firefighter Foundation — dedicated to supporting the families of firemen lost in the line of duty — and continued our longstanding support of Tunnel to Towers foundation.

KISS THE GROUND

Supporting Regenerative Agriculture

Agriculture has a huge impact on our planet. The way we are currently producing our food is unsustainable and damaging the Earth’s ecosystems. Regenerative agriculture is one way forward. By improving farming practices we can ensure the land can be used for generations to come. We are supporting regenerative agriculture by donating to Kiss the Ground, a non-profit that focuses on educating the public about regenerative practices and advocating for new regulations.
