DASH recently became aware of an extremely offensive social media post made by the owner of Wraps2Go, a small business subcontractor who formerly performed work for DASH. These comments are despicable and are not condoned by our organization. Our organization believes in the value of community and the beauty of diversity. We do not support any ideals that promote division, discrimination or racism. We can confirm that we have no ongoing projects with Wraps2Go and will not be doing business with them in the future.
