Non-Profit Success Stories

You don't wnat to pay any taxes do you? DO YOU!? Of course you don't. Have yo ever looked at a non-profit and wondered how they are able to get all this money and never have to worry about paying it out to the government? Well look no more. Finding a successful non-profit is right around the corner. At least finding someone ELSE that has one is right around the corner. You can keep worrying about fat burning supplements yourself.

Here are a couple sisters that run a Bee company and do pretty well for themselves and the people they work to help.

When their grandfather died of esophageal cancer in 2003, sisters Molly and Carly Houlahan wanted to do something significant that would both honor his memory and help fund the search for a cancer cure.

"He was our best friend and role model," Molly says. "It was the first time we had lost someone, and you recognize how precious life is."

So Molly, now 18, and Carly, 16, put a family hobby to work and formed Hives for Lives. The Devon, Penn.-based company harvests, filters, bottles, labels and sells its own honey, and all profits are donated to fund cancer research.
