Wow, Almost 10,000 Talent In The Soup! We love cupcakes but would rather you celebrate with us here: http://bit.ly/9DNluM

TalentSoup is a day, or so, away from crossing a huge milestone: 10,000 talent in our community!

As a rule, we are quick to celebrate and this is a huge deal to us but instead of looking ahead, we've chosen to look around. Around our homes, our business, our city (well, "cities", as we are growing strong in Atlanta, Miami, Tampa, Seattle, etc.)... and while patting ourselves, and our talent, on the back is fun, it doesn't fit our credo~

You see, we exist because we are For People. That is, we believe in an individual's greatness and want to do everything we can so support, encourage, and grow everyone we come in contact with.

Based on that idea, and our monumental 10k Talent milestone, we thought to celebrate by pouring into those with unlimited potential for greatness - kids.

So in lieu of gifts, cards, cupcakes (although we really, really like cupcakes) or accolade, we noticed the Tim Ferris http://bit.ly/cBUrKo , is matching all gifts to an incredible organization called Donors Choose. So if you give $33, he'll give an additional $33!!! That's good math if you ask us.

So go look around and let's invest in some kid-greatness!
