What makes your organization unique? "Medals4Mettle does not compete with other charities for valuable dollars, and actually supports the patients benefiting from the missions of those organizations. "

What is one key thing needed for leadership in the non profit sector? "Run your organization as though it is a for-profit business."

How can business people/the community help your organization? "If you have completed a half marathon, marathon or any distance triathlon, please donate your finishers medals to us.  Also, we replace the existing ribbons on medals with a Medals4Mettle ribbon. Each ribbon costs us $4, so please consider donating the cost of a ribbon at http://www.firstgiving.com/pamkassner.  We have no national chapter budget so all expenses are the responsibility of the chapter coordinator."

Why do you think people should volunteer? 
"Your support will have a direct impact on a patient’s ability to get well.  Doctors and family members agree that these medals improve patient attitudes and a positive attitude benefits a patient’s ability to improve."
