Adam is humble and failed to say We, at CEwire, have also sent large contributions to VOSH the last two events, The Lighthouse Guild and Prevent Blindness in our last three events. It is a pleasure to be with the Farkas's in this endeavor. Hopefully, with your help, we can get to the top of the donating totem and pass Johnson and Johnson!!!!!!!!!!

lol, at this pace the sun will explode and consume us all before we reach that goal. But we can always try!

J&J is a really generous organization, they give a tremendous amount to these groups (and they don't usually say too much about it!)
