    1. I first tried to send this message via e-mail, but your form submission does not work. We have featured your reciprocal link on our ‘About Us’ page for some time, but we still are not listed in your directory.

      Can we please have our site listed?

      I would appreciate hearing back if there is an issue. I can be reached Toll Free at: 866 826-1100 x 327.

    2. Please do not suggest or support “Donkey Basketball”, do you research on the subject… I’m not going to preach but it’s not right yo use animals especially in such a way that is not natural to them. Most animals that are used in these events are abused and I don’t feel that teaching our children that this practice is okay will do them anything but harm in the future.

    3. An easy way to ask for straight donations, if you’re tired of having to sell stuff or organize big events, is to do an online fundraiser. You can use online tools to help schools and PTA’s get donations from family, friends, grandparents, etc. for much higher returns than some of the business partnership stuff.
