Collin and LeeAnn adopted their beloved cats at Town and Country Humane Society, so this organization is very special to them. The no-kill shelter takes very good care of the animals they look after and are very careful about adopting to the right families. They are located in Papillion, Nebraska.

LeeAnn learned of Make a Stand after seeing a documentary in Wilmington, Ohio about a ten-year-old girl who wished to see the end of slavery. This documentary, partly directed by Wilmington, Ohio local, Grant Peelle, raised awareness of modern slavery and what Vivienne Harr, the aforementioned girl, was doing about it. She began a lemonade stand, only asking for donations, so that she could collect money to free slaves. Now Harr is famous, has her own company (with the help of her enthusiastic parents), and is fighting for human rights across the globe. The company is located in San Rafael, California.
