In 1980 Mr. and Mrs. Edwards founded Austin Diversified Products, Inc. (ADP)<\/strong> to manufacture market\u00a0and sell their proprietary Advanage Multipurpose Cleaner. Today, thirty five years later, well over 30\u00a0million customers have purchased Advanage.<\/p>\n

Along with basic sales training, ADP helps\u00a0them prepare for a productive life by instilling in them the disciplines needed to cope with life and its\u00a0uncertainties.<\/p>\n

It is the Edwards\u2019 decades of work helping young people become contributing citizens that has\u00a0prompted them to establish the Advanage Foundation.<\/p>\n
