The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress has received a second $1 million donation pledge from Foot Levelers, Inc., highlighting recent financial support throughout the profession for the foundation's PR campaign. Foot Levelers, which had pledged $1.3 million to the campaign since its inception in 2003, announced the $1 million donation following Parker Seminars Las Vegas, during which the company also committed to match all F4CP donations received during the event.
When all was said and done, the matching donation from Foot Levelers exceeded $80,000, matching donations made at Parker Las Vegas by, among others, chiropractic organizations and vendors including the following:
"As Foot Levelers celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, it is important to us to continue to give and help grow this great profession," said Kent Greenawalt, company CEO and founder of the foundation. "Last year the F4CP achieved unbelievable success in communicating the value of this profession and the care it provides. This year, Foot Levelers hopes to help drive membership and increase that exposure dramatically."
Also pledging substantial support to the foundation recently: ChiroTouch, which committed $25,000 in late 2011. In making the pledge, company president Robert Moberg stated: "The Foundation's remarkable work has galvanized the profession, and we look forward to playing a part in its future success."

Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
