The experiences that Connor and I have had, because we've been friends for 15 years, we've gone all over the world.

We've filmed with the United Nations.

We've been into refugee camps in the Middle East.

If there's a way to create a legacy for Charlie, let's do it.

And if you guys as a family wanna make this happen, let's go.

We're gonna push as hard as we can.

And if we ever go too far, tell us to stop.

Because I think the goal is to be present in the Midwest, present nationally, really show that you can do a lot more.

And the thing is, we're a donor advised fund through the La Crosse Area Community Foundation.

We are not a nonprofit entity ourselves.

We have to work with other partner nonprofits to get stuff done.

And that's really cool because these partner nonprofits have been doing this for years.

And once you find the right one that knows what they're doing and they just need a little like cash flow or the support or the energy or the youthful marketing or branding or advertising, we come in and we're like a shot in the vein for them.

And they are like, yes, let's go.

We're going to do good things together.

And our intention is to be an initiative based organization.
