Yes, friends. Gumballs can actually do good for this world. Look no farther than an emerging organization on the Stanford University campus as well as many others across the country.
Gumball Capital is "inspiring entrepreneurship for social impact with our microfinance benefit competition — The Gumball Challenge.
Participating teams receive $27 microloans and 27 gumballs from Gumball Capital. After a one-week creativity spree in November, the teams donate any revenue to a microfinance-related organization of their choice.
We offer the Gumball Fund as one option, for students interested in supporting developing-world entrepreneurs through microfinance." [Gumballcapital.com]
Their homepage has a very fun of video of gumballs interacting with their environment called "Gumballs Making Change." Definitely check this one out.
Also, turns out my supplier of gumballs, Gumball.com, is supplying the gumballs for Gumball Capital, as well. From their video and logo, it looks like they're using the assorted gumballs.
Gumballs for a cause. Quite a concept and an honorable one, indeed.
