A New Bridge and ONE was there!
ONE’s exposure in California continues to grow north as we attended the City of Folsom’s Folsom Lake Crossing celebration. Folsom, a city just east of Sacramento, enjoyed their new bridge while listening to congressional leaders: Lungren, Matsui, McClintock and of course Mayor Miklos. We handed out over 500 wristbands, stickers and literature to attendees and educated as many as we could about ONE and extreme poverty. We used the opportunity to tell people to look for ONE at more local events including Folsom’s 26th Annual run with nature and the Folsom Firecracker Run on the 4th July – where they have already agreed to help promte ONE – hoping to raise voices to join our cause. Look more of us in Folsom!

What happen to your celebrity filled ads that ONE used to run? Why did you guys stop? If you spam the TV with more ads the more support you will get. 2 years and not a single new ad?
