We value giving back to the community and to help make a difference in the lives of people experiencing challenges with mental health."
"When we first launched Affordable Bar Prep last year, we pledged to donate 10% of all sales to registered charities involved in the mental health space," Bhumgara added. "We took what would have been approximately a $2,000 donation and turned it into a $100,000 legacy gift by purchasing a life insurance policy on my life," Bhumgara explained.
