“It is so nice to have a printer we can depend on. Our RK Dixon rep was totally awesome. He came in and looked at what we were doing and what our needs were to determine the best piece of equipment for us. We can print anything on our printer now – it scans, it copies, it prints. We are really glad that we decided to give it a shot and enter the contest. It’s good friendly competition for a good cause and it’s helped us tremendously.” Kirsten Kotlarchik, Operations Manager, United Leukodystrophy Foundation, Inc. “The main advantage of the copier we received as a result of the Make My Non-Profit Run Better contest is that we have saved a lot on printing costs! We’ve already made more than 2,000 copies, so it has definitely been a positive asset for our organization!” Kendra Kophamer, Marketing Director, White Oaks Therapeutic Equestrian Center
