It is great that Robe donated this torch instead of putting it up at their head quarter and let it collect dust since it is the last thing that it did. I wonder what the company that got the torch is going to do with it. I know that there is a lot of these torches that are floating around and you have to usually buy the torch that you carried or give it back. I hope that the foundation that the money went to does some great work. I hope that in the future more entertainment companies get a chance to carry Olympic torches and does similar things with them and helps arts organizations get more funding form this means of fundraising..
