It all began with the original vanilla caramel derived from Jane Drake Cummings’ four-generation-old family recipe. Jane, who has been married to my father for over 35 years, is a two-time cancer survivor. In recognition of her fight and determination, as well as that of my sister — a three-time cancer survivor — we have embraced the mission to end cancer.  So, for every single little caramel we sell, we give a little back.  That’s a big motivator in crafting each one of our ridiculously good caramels. The more people love them and buy them, the more we can grow and give.

WeSolar’s mission is to bring under-resourced communities affordable access to local community solar and to assist commercial properties with energy efficiency. WeSolar launched in Baltimore and will expand to other cities in the future. Through WeSolar, electricity consumers can purchase shared solar from a local project without having to install any equipment in their homes. In turn, residents save hundreds on their electricity bills. In Maryland, lawmakers passed legislation that states 50 percent of its electricity must come from renewable energy sources by 2030. The CEO, Kristal Hansley, and her team are disrupters who advocate that communities of color and low-income communities be included in this shift and have a healthy environment in the future.
