Super Bowl Winner Malcolm Jenkins Speaks Up (A Few Months Ago!) For Iraqi Kids
February 10, 2010 by Jeremy · Leave a Comment
Our congratulations to the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts for a great game and a hard season. Special congratulations, however, go to cornerback Malcolm Jenkins for using his platform as an athlete to speak up on behalf of those whose voice is scarcely heard or heeded. Malcolm - along with many others who never won the Super Bowl - is like a megaphone for the kids of Iraq…
What about you? What are you up to for the kids of Iraq? If you’re a college student or post-college student, might we suggest our Summer Internship? There are still a few weeks left to apply!
Let us hear from you!

The Preemptive Love Coalition Featured in GENERATION BIG Book As Part of the Rising Tide of Dreams to Action
July 14, 2009 by Cody · Leave a Comment
Author Jeffrey Smith has just written a book about “BOLD, INNOVATIVE, & GENEROUS” initiatives and people in the world and decided to include us in his compendium.
From the website:
In the book, we tell the story of how [Jeremy] Courtney, his wife, Jessica, and their friend Cody Fisher established their bold vision: “to eradicate the backlog of thousands of Iraqi children waiting for life-saving heart surgery and to increase the dialogue between international communities at odds.”
We share Courtney’s remarkable innovations as he moved from dreams to action and established The Preemptive Love Coalition. And we unveil Courtney’s generous heart that guides his quest to heal children’s hearts.
Courtney represents a rising tide of BOLD, INNOVATIVE and GENEROUS people who are mastering life and giving back in extraordinary ways, despite the economic meltdown.
Economic downturns lead most people to hunker down, bemoan their fate, and wait for forces beyond their control to bring back better days. But even in a time of unprecedented economic uncertainty, it is possible, through innovation, boldness and careful planning to achieve BIG dreams.
FOR EVERY BOOK PURCHASED FROM THEIR WEBSITE THEY GIVE $5 TO IRAQI KIDS FOR HEART SURGERY.
Click here to grab the book for $19.95 and automatically give $5 to life-saving heart surgeries for Iraqi kids.
