MD Bugs is proud to implement a charitable donation program that will give back to select charities each year. On a monthly basis we will be donating 2% of our sales to our selected charities. Our goal is to not only donate monetarily but also support these charities in their community events, services, needs etc.
Our goal is to make a small contribution to our community by supporting the charities we have chosen for this years program. We hope you our customers will support us in this exciting opportunity.
Each year we will solicit our customers recommendation of Charities that you’d like us to support. They will be submitted to a committee chosen by MD Bugs who will then choose the top five for the following year. We hope this will grow into an exciting program within our company.
For our first year (2011-2012) we have selected the following five (5) charities to support:
- CAAFA (Community Alliance Against Family Abuse;)
- Wounded Warrior Project
- DSNetwork Arizona
