There's still time to support Rock's special charity project: The Special Needs Equipment Fund. It was created because too many kids with disabilities need special equipment but their families can’t afford the cost. To learn more click here.

For any amount you donate to the fund (honor system), Rock will give you a free 30 minute strategy call about your printing business. Ask him anything and we’ll come up with a game plan.

After you’ve made your tax deductible gift, send Rock an email ([e-mail]) with “Fund Call” in the subject line and we’ll set up a time for your call.

The fund is administered through United Way and 100% of your gift goes to the cause. Thank you for your kind consideration of this opportunity.
