I wanted to introduce everyone to the new organization that [your charity or school name] is partnering with. It is called Gift Cards for a Cause (GCFC), and it’s all about making thedollars you spend doing your routine shopping work to also support your favorite non-profit and charitable organizations.
Each time you purchase gift cards, e-cards, or gift certificates from GCFC, up to 20% of your purchase could be donated to [your charity or school name]. The gift cards can then be used to make everyday purchases that you would otherwise be paying for with cash or credit card. For example, if you spend $100 per week at the grocery store, why not purchase a $100 gift card to your local grocery store from GCFC and, at the same time, donate a few dollars to [your charity or school]? Start doing this when you buy your coffee at Starbucks, or go the movies at AMC or Regal, or buy yours sneakers at Foot Locker, or that gift card you need to buy at Macy’s or Barnes and Noble for your child’s teacher for Christmas. You will soon start to see that when our friends and supporters all start to do this, it will really make an impact on [your charity or school].
To get started, go to www.giftcardsforacause.com, place your order, and then select [your charity or school] to receive the donation.
