Th hope would be that the organization would grow until it could cover more cities, until it covered the entire nation, giving to the poor, by receiving from the rich. As long as the priviliged families were glad to help and were accepting of giving away what they don't need, the idea is completely plausible. haha make your company start with an L, seems to be the best boards out there. haha, erle Sat, 30 Aug 2008 17:01:20 -0600 advice http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/rss/1676-The-Robin-Hood-Foundation-re#advice3774 http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/rss/1676-The-Robin-Hood-Foundation-re#advice3774 start a volunteer organization that collects clothing, bikes, toys, etc. to give to children who are orphans, homeless, or underprivileged.

The great thing is that if any of your first products flop, you can start building the next one. Continue to build off of the reputation with customers -- which starts with your friends, family, and neighbors....and a growing community of loyal customers that find you on the Internet, at the beach, etc.... I think it will be most beneficial to talk to pro long boarders and find out what they really want their next board to be like. Identify common trends and build a board that that will be enjoyed by the masses. The core of your research is to talk to as many people as you can and learn what the market wants. Here is an interesting article on competing against giants: http://www.gaebler.com/Competing-Against-Big-Companies.htm Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:14:08 -0600 advice http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/rss/1676-The-Robin-Hood-Foundation-re#advice2607 http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/rss/1676-The-Robin-Hood-Foundation-re#advice2607 start a volunteer organization that collects clothing, bikes, toys, etc. to give to children who are orphans, homeless, or underprivileged.

Also should money evr be given directly to the family even with the back ground checks?
