“We wanted to create a fun way for people to help our charitable efforts,” explained Richard McDonough, president and Chief Executive Officer of America Responds With Love. “Americans love being fools on April 1. We thought this might be a great way to have their foolishness help our nonprofit organization as we strive to help people truly in need throughout the United States.”
