Influencers, bloggers, parents, volunteers, leaders, we all have a voice and our own sphere of influence.
As bloggers and influencers we depend on that influence to promote brands and work with companies that we are passionate about.
But what if we could do more? Instead of just talking about what we are drinking to keep us hydrated this summer, or how our new summer dress is keeping us cool, what if we could use our influence to support important causes.
If you’re one of the thousands of people that have watched Hamilton recently you might be familiar with the line, “If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?”
Now is the time to use our influence to make a change by letting others know what we stand for. Not sure where to start?
Thanks to the Courage to Earn community we have put together a list of causes that need your support.
