SendAFriend marks milestone in donations

SendAFriend, a company started by Tyler Macke of Jackson in 2018, reports surpassing $1 million in donations to not-for-profit organizations in the U.S., sending 375,000 personalized stuffed animal care packages to loved ones. Macke said 10% of sales are devoted to charitable organizations.
