As you might have noticed from time to time here, I’ve got a variety of little online fundraising projects going on for HPS. They don’t raise thousands, but hey, they’re really easy and every little bit helps. Since many of you are the ones helping with these fundraisers, let me give you an update.
Who ever has been shopping for the Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Network at www.igive.com – thanks!!! We’ve made $6.00 this month, which for this project is pretty good. We’re $4.00 away from getting our next check. So, if anyone has any Christmas, birthday or whatever type of shopping going on, please, by all means – shop for the cure! For those who don’t know about www.igive.com, it’s an online shopping mall of more than 650 merchants ranging from Barnes&Noble and JC Penny, to Office Depot and Eddie Bauer. You can find pretty much anything you need through the site. It does take a little time the first time you shop there, however. Each merchant gives a percentage of what they earn through iGive business to the shopper’s chosen charity. How much they give depends on the merchant, but you can see how much they’ll donate as you shop.
Next, searching for the cure. The HPS Network is part of www.goodsearch.com (they just sent me a banner and I’ll be adding it here soon.) At this site you can select a charity of your choice, and every time you do a search, that cause gets a penny. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but if we had 100 people doing 2 searches a day, it would add up to $730 a year. Currently we’ve had 599 searches performed on our behalf, so we’ve made $5.99. Someone go make that a nice round number!
Lastly, I plan to donate the revenue generated from the Google ad on this blog to the HPS Network. After I hit $100 I should get a check in about a month, and when I do I’ll send the money to the Network. As of a few minutes ago, the click-throughs on the ad have earned $61.
Every little bit helps!
