Don't have a biz idea of your own

You can still help make the world a better place by finding a project that's already been entered or by entering a friend or loved ones project for them. For example, I vote each day for my friend who has a daughter with a very rare condition called Arterial Venous Malformation (AVM), which led to cerebral palsy. His daughters condition inspired him to start Janae Designs (named after his daughter). Janae Designs, LLC, was created to design and manufacture physical therapy equipment and products to help improve the physical development and quality of life of Janae and other children with similar special needs.

That just happens to be an idea that I can get behind. You can vote for Jane Designs or research thousands of other ideas that will help make the world a better place by visiting the offical Refresh Everything project website.
