CEO's Statement:

"I admire Sir Elton's "walking the walk" on the matter by donating his own funds for efforts on behalf of Wisconsin's GLBTI couples. Thank you! I hope that other prominent public figures will have the courage, compassion and fair-mindedness to do similarly around the globe for 100% marriage equality." - MW Savant, CEO - savvyplanners.com
