FTP wrapped our 8th Annual Toy Drive for D.C.’s @WheatleyDCPS in partnership with @RG3Foundation. Nearly 400 kids will open gifts this holiday thanks to our team’s commitment to spreading cheer!
This week, FTP attended the @BryceHarlow dinner where our own founding partner @DanTate2 was presented with the 2024 Business Government Relations Award! It was an honor to watch Dan’s long commitment to government be recognized with such an esteemed award!
Our 2023 @WheatleyDCPS toy drive was a SUCCESS! We’d like to thank Wheatley for their ongoing partnership over the past 7 years and to our staff, friends, and family who helped make the holidays special for their students. Together we raised over 1,000 toys!

25 years ago yesterday, AMZN went public. As the Grateful Dead would say, “What a long, strange trip it’s been.”
It’s been far from smooth. Lots of risk-taking, lots of invention, lots of mistakes, so much we still have to do better. I wouldn’t trade the ride for anything.
What is a band without skyscraper and what's New York City without legendary musicians bringing the house down?
