 As a company, Sand Dollar Spa & Massage has always viewed our charitable giving as a pledge of our social responsibility. Whether through the in-kind donation of volunteer time, gift certificates or direct financial support, our giving is based on the belief that our vitality as a company depends on the well-being of the town where we live and work. To accomplish this, we consider those areas in which we believe the most critical needs exist and where the Company's resources can have the most favorable impact on the community we serve. As such, our giving is focused in three key areas.
