We want to take a moment to give a HUGE thank you to Maurice Long with CLARIOS Battery Manufacturer in Kernersville, NC for his continued and faithful support of Rejected Cornerstone Organization. 🙏❤️
It’s truly amazing how God places the right people in your path at exactly the right time. Mr. Long is one of those people—someone whose generosity, encouragement, and belief in our mission continues to bless our organization and, most importantly, the children we serve.
Beyond his support, Maurice is also an incredibly talented children’s book author. Our kids have absolutely loved his books!
📘 “Save a Noodle and Invest in a Sock” is a fun BevRock “Stoem” (a story + poem combo) told by a mysterious third-person narrator. It’s a simple yet powerful riddle that teaches rules and principles for true success. First shared by Beep’s dad and reinforced throughout the story, it reminds readers that the time is now—and that success comes from choosing to Be-Exceptional-Everyday-with-Purpose (BEEP!).
📗 “I Am a Creator and an Anomaly” introduces us to Beep—an extraordinary, multiracial, eleven-year-old with a big vocabulary, big dreams, and even bigger imagination. Despite growing up with financial hardship, Beep believes in himself and confidently pursues creativity and purpose. Parents, guardians, and kids alike can’t help but fall in love with his character—and we sure have.
