The delicious cookies will be ready to purchase for $2 starting on Monday but with the election being the same day, we decided to celebrate a little bit earlier!

We really appreciated hearing from Dawson and Daniela about Dawson's love for HARK and from Jack's Mom about the great care they received from the Children's Health Foundation. We loved hearing your moving shares. A big thank you to Ashley and Sean for hosting the event at their restaurant and to all the other London owners who came out to support the kick-off.
