The Orange Duffel Bag Foundation Leader Pitches Live
The Orange Duffel Bag Foundation works with homeless teens and foster kids who are “aging out” of the system and often find themselves lost.
Echo Garrett, the founder of Orange Duffel Bag, will join me for a live discussion on January 9, 2014 at 5:00 Eastern to talk about the current crowdfunding campaign to raise money for their programs.
