Making It Better
Through our parent company–Paris Corporation, we have a Make It Better charitable giving program where we make both product and monetary donations to local charities and organizations.
Recently we donated two 66 Jump Starters to an organization called The Other Side Academy – a two-year re-educational and vocational program for men and women who have struggled with addiction, criminality, joblessness, and homelessness. While here, the students learn vocational and life skills, allowing them to emerge with a healthy life on “the other side”.
