Since the beginning of the War in Ukraine, I have ended my daily broadcast with the words, “Go Light up the World and Pray for Peace.”  It seems to have resonated well with our audience as we have received many positive comments. At LEDucation, there was much discussion about the war and a few people, including Michael Danesh, COO, dmf lighting,  asked if EdisonReport would lead the effort for the industry to help raise funds for the families.

This week, we have researched several charities and have chosen to work with UNICEF, as less than 3% of funds go to administrative costs.  The funds you give will go directly to UNICEF and they don’t pass through the EdisonReport.  Our goal is $5000 and EdisonReport will match fifty cents for every dollar raised up to the first $5000.
