Ahead of the Curve, a Los Angeles non-profit that promotes healthy living and preventative care programs in the US and Dominican Republic, is looking for a firm to work on a probono business.
CEO Merrick Buckingam, founder My Brother's Keeper in Washington, is focused on targeting people in the African-American and Latino communities suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and HIV/AIDS.
The death of his mother from heart disease inspired the Navy veteran to enter the preventive care business.
ATC also raises money for HIV/AIDS awareness and preventive care in San Domingo. Buckingham considers the DR his adopted homeland.
Via an email, Buckingham told O'Dwyer's that ATC is "looking for new ways to develop non-profit/corporate hybrid mutually beneficial relationships."
He wants to attract "individuals, philanthropists, dreamers and socially conscious companies with budgets to invest in progressive ideas around providing services to our target population."
