Our mission is the same today as it was when husband and wife founders Todd and LaDonna Urick first hit upon the idea for Mission:Change back in the fall of 2007: To raise money and awareness for local individuals, causes and organizations in need. Todd and LaDonna have always been enthusiastic supporters of various organizations and charities, but were often disappointed to see charitable causes in their area fade into the background because these individuals-in-need lacked the funds and widespread recognition that national organizations receive. And so through the sale of hand painted necklaces and custom designed t-shirts, Mission:Change seeks to raise money and social awareness for the worthy local causes in our own back yards, donating proceeds of every sale to one of the specific missions we've adopted. Furthermore, every month we conduct a Monthly Mission to show just how easy (not to mention personally rewarding) it is to make a difference in someone's life in your community.
