"We are seeing lots of brands and individuals embrace the Moontoast platform as a way to monetize their knowledge, experience and expertise, but Vince is the first to use Moontoast for philanthropy.  We think he's going to raise a lot of money for Challenge America, and at the same time show other artists, athletes and celebrities that Moontoast can be an efficient and effective vehicle for good," said Moontoast Chief Marketing Officer, Michael Haje.
