"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Greg Mortenson started his talk to Columbia Falls Junior High students last week in a somewhat unusual way.

Mortenson is the co-author of the national best seller "Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace… One School at a Time." http://www.threecupsoftea.com/AboutGreg.php
