Extra Mile America Foundation

Going the extra mile is doing more than the normal...more than expected. Going the extra mile is extending ourselves in our efforts and our communication. Going the extra mile is getting back up after we've been knocked down, despite whatever has happened, and saying, "I still choose the very best for myself!"

The Extra Mile America Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that encourages positive attitude and action by empowering individuals, organizations, and cities to "go the extra mile." Through public campaigns, speaking engagements, and partnerships with nonprofits, we empower people to apply the extra-mile principle, reach their goals, and live a more self-directed life.

Today was my Newark event day, and Jersey Cares played the role of my awesome host. In complete humility and support, the Executive Director of the organization, Brian Dean, gave me the use of his office for the day. It was a class act by a class guy.

The thing about Brian...and his whole amazing staff...Sherry, Ije, Elizabeth, Jon, Kerry, Charlene, and Heather...is that they really care. They do what they do not for a check, but for the chance to make a difference for another person.

In the case of this great team in New Jersey, they make a difference hundreds of times each month.

New Jersey is lucky to have such amazing, heart-driven...extra-mile...people.

And I am lucky to have met them.
