Background

Imerman battled testicular cancer for two years during his twenties in the Detroit area. Despite having a supportive network, he realized there was a lack of connection with other young adults who had faced similar challenges. This experience motivated him to co-found Imerman Angels in 2006, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing personalized one-on-one support for cancer fighters, survivors, and caregivers. The organization has successfully matched over 40,000 individuals with trained volunteer mentors who have experienced similar cancer journeys themselves.12

CLOZTALK

This initiative stemmed from the recognition that nonprofits often struggle with visibility. CLOZTALK produces high-quality, made-on-demand apparel featuring nonprofit logos, encouraging people to wear these items to spark conversations and promote awareness for various causes. The platform supports over 430 nonprofits without requiring any financial investment from them.12
