HISTORY: Little word, big idea
Phonetically: Meh-Da-Bo
Sometimes big ideas just come to you. It can happen while driving, while making dinner, and who doesn't have a flash of brilliance every now and then while shampooing? The process was no different for our Grandfather.
One day, he turned to his grandchildren and passed along his kernel of wisdom and bellowed a single word, "MEDABO!"
"Make Every Day A Better One! Now, take it and run!" he exclaimed.
He was a true entrepreneur and entertainer by nature. Sharing his moments of epiphany with the large family he loved and supported was a common occurrence. Yet, this time was different. This word was a special word; a versatile word; a unique word; a singular call to action. This little word had, and continues to have, many uses:

VERB, NOUN, MANTRA, And MOVEMENT
SIMPLE but SIGNIFICANT
We like simple. The MEDABO Principle is simple.
It starts with the personal decision to think better and act better, every day, one day at a time; however, sometimes life gets overwhelming and we need reminders of the goodness that surrounds us and the good we can do. We forget about the importance of simple acts of kindness and our power to make a positive impact in the world.
Enter MEDABO! It's the funny little word that sticks!! MEDABO is the reminder that even our smallest actions have immense power to create a better world and a better future for ourselves and others.

MEDABO Days
In addition to articulating the MEDABO Principle, the family took created MEDABO Days.
During each MEDABO Day, over 50 cousins put their talents to work to raise money for charities across the country. The talents ranged (as they do) from all out professional efforts to deploy armies of lemonade stands, to stand alone projects of paid dirty diapers. (The latter for the under age 2 cousin group....)
Together, these pooled efforts taught everyone the value of working together for a common cause and about the phenomenal impact that each individual can have when he or she chooses to Make Every Day A Better One.
The principle evolved into action, and the MEDABO movement began.
