PAY A GOOD DEED FORWARD
We know it is not possible for everyone to do a deed as noble as giving their life for their country as have the fallen who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, we want to continue their noble actions by paying their deed forward and keep their spirits alive.
Therefore, PAY A GOOD DEED FORWARD program was created.
HOW DO YOU PAY THEIR GOOD DEED FORWARD?
Either:
1. Start a token program
2. Order a token online and Pay it Forward

3. Receive a token from someone else who is paying it forward to you and then Pay it Forward
4. Donate directly to Ross A. McGinnis Endowment Fund
