Tea with Mali will reach 12.5 million households this year. You helped transform the web series into a nationally distributed television show.
That’s because you understand the need for a new type of business conversation. We have dedicated 3 years of sweat to highlighting legacy based businesses and community advocates. From baby boomers to young professionals, we reach out and inspire viewers to uncover their passions and live a vibrant life that benefits others.
But now, your source for real insights and tangible guidance may be in jeopardy. Unless we are able to raise funds by the end of October we are in danger of losing the televised version of Tea with Mali. We need your help today. With your contribution, we’ll continue to share positive role models and change makers with you; true visionaries who are making our world better.
That’s why we're relying on you to renew your support for Tea with Mali today. Tea with Mali is about much more than sharing business advice. We're a reminder to those struggling through change or seeking direction that they are capable, they are worthy and they can excel. That's what we're seeking to fund through this campaign and we can’t do this without your financial contributions and social media shares.
