Safe, Secure, and Smart (and Free) Ways to Help MABCR

iGive

Hi there!

I wanted to remind you all about a cool way to help raise money for Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue. I 'make' a donation every time I shop online, and I think you should check it out.  iGive.com helps me earn a donation for MABCR every time I shop at any of their 926 participating stores at no additional cost to me.

On top of that, if you make a purchase through iGive within 45 days of joining, they'll donate an EXTRA $5 to your favorite cause! With 926 stores in the iGive Mall, it's easy to find the things you need AND raise money for a good cause.

Why We Trust (and LOVE) iGive.com: 

Established in 1997, iGive is the first online shopping mall where a portion of each purchase benefits the shopper's favorite cause. iGive members have raised over $5 million for charities across the U.S. and Canada, and this small army of caring shoppers have become an influential force in the internet marketplace. Over 900 of the web's best stores have come to recognize the value of iGive shoppers, and this allows iGive to negotiate some of the best donation rates and exclusive coupons for its members. As an added bonus, when you shop through iGive you always have the extra support of their highly responsive customer service team, just in case something goes amiss.


An iGive member cause since August 2005, iGive searches and purchases have raised more than $1600 for MABCR. Interestingly, the majority of this income has happened because of only a few dedicated iGive users. I can't imagine the income that would be generated if more of our supporters used the iGive service. Remember, it isn't the shopper making the donation, it is the webstore that gives a portion of each purchase...a win/win!!

Create your free iGive account. After that, all you need do is shop through the iGive.com website, newsletters, or install the optional iGive Button* to make sure you never miss an opportunity to raise money when you shop online. It’s all automatic, and it's all free of charge. iGive lets you control your membership information with a private password. You can review your store visits and purchase/donation history, and confirm the total amount raised and distributed to your cause. iGive values your privacy and will never release shopper information without consent. And there are no hidden fees or extra costs when you shop through iGive.

*The iGive Button is an optional feature. You can use iGive without installing the Button - just remember to go through the iGive website or e-mail newsletters to get credit for your donation. To learn more, visit: http://www.igive.com/button

2.  Shop through iGive.com's online mall

The iGive Mall features over 900 trusted online retailers like Amazon.com, Staples, Nordstrom, JCPenney, Expedia.com, Barnes & Noble, QVC, & PETsMART to name just a few! You'll NEVER pay more when you reach these stores through iGive.com. And if you take advantage of the coupons and free shipping deals posted at iGive, you might even save a few bucks!

3.  Watch the $$ roll in for Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue!

Up to 26% of EACH purchase through iGive benefits your cause. Make that first purchase within 45 days and get a bonus $5 donation, too!

I have used iGive for about four years now, it is a great service, it helps our dogs, and it is safe (you actually give nothing, the participating stores do!)

I hope to see you at iGive.com soon!

Subject: Special Bonus to Help Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue

Hi Sarah,

We know that many causes have had a hard year, so we'd like to try something new to
help Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue that requires your participation, but is free and definitely easy.

iGive.com is going to attempt to donate $5,000 in just 24 hours to Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue and other causes.

For each person who joins iGive using the special link below and does just one web search on our
site between now and noon Thursday, we'll give Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue a dollar.

5,000 new members, $5,000. No purchase necessary.

Of course, if they search more (or buy something) they'll earn even more money for Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue.
Right now, we're donating $.02 per search and a bonus $5 for that first purchase plus the usual percentage.

Here's where you come in. The only way Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue will get new supporters and that free $1 (or more)
is if you invite them. Send your friends, family, and colleagues the following link in an e-mail, tweet it, do a
Facebook posting, put up posters, shout from mountain tops (you know the drill) and let them know you think
Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue is pretty cool and deserves their support, especially since it's free! You can even just forward
this e-mail.

This is the link:
http://www.igive.com/welcome/warm_reg_promo.cfm?m=411967

We're really proud of our search capability, powered by Yahoo! We've made tons of improvements over the
past four months, so we want lots of people to try it out and put it to the test. If they keep on searching or
shopping after testing us out, so much the better for Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue and iGive.com.

The details:
- Offer active between now and 11:59 a.m., December 17, 2009 (Chicago time).
- New members only (never have been an iGive member previously). All the normal rules of membership, searching, and
purchasing apply, our site has the details.
- Once we've given away $5,000, the offer ends.

That's it. Don't forget to try our search yourself (http://isearch.igive.com). You may need to login first.

From our families to yours, we hope you have a great holiday season.


Yours,

Robert N. Grosshandler
