IBOs Serving Soup to Serve Others

IBOs are more than Independent Business men and women. They are also members of the communities in which they live, contributing to the well being of their communities in many ways. Here is just one of the many stories of IBOs giving of themselves to build better lives in the world around them.

“To whom much is given, much is expected,” says Jean Valerio, an IBO from New York who every week serves the homeless of the Bronx with food, drink, and a smile through New York City Relief (NYCR).

Victors Put Their Hearts into Local Heart Walk

IBOs are more than Independent Business men and women. They are also members of the communities in which they live, contributing to the well being of their communities in many ways. Here is just one of the many stories of IBOs giving of themselves to build better lives in the world around them.

Jody and Kathy Victor aren’t new to doing good works for their community, but they wanted to do even more. When they saw a local university was holding a Heart Walk for the American Heart Association in September, it seemed like a great opportunity to contribute. Jody also knew someone who had suffered a debilitating stroke, and this was an opportunity to provide some extra support. Thus was born a very successful first Heart Walk for MarkerMan Productions, team MMP, and 48 IBOs and family.
