Thank you to Arthur Kim of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation for becoming an Exceptional Gentleman. Take a moment to learn why Arthur got involved:

“I decided to join the Waypoint Gentleman Campaign because I have daughters. I have a wife, I have a sister, I have a mother, and all of them and all the other women and other people in my life have their own stories, their own challenges, their own strengths, their own needs, wants, and every single one of them deserves to be heard, to feel safe, and they all deserve the opportunity to thrive on their own terms. And I thought this campaign was a great way to show my support for that, and to move that needle.”

Please consider taking the pledge yourself or on behalf of a gentleman you know here: https://givebutter.com/gentleman-campaign-yj0uux
