An Easy, Free Way to Help Us Raise Funds
Click the link above to support our cause for free!
Every time you shop at any of 700+ online stores in the iGive network, a portion of the money you spend benefits us. These are stores you probably already shop at like: HomeDepot, Gap, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Borders, Amazon.com, Bath & Body, Staples, Petsmart, JcPenny, Sears, Ebay, Priceline, Blockbusters, Netflix, Snapfish, and more!
(For a list of retailers click here or download a PDF by clicking here.)
It's a free service, and you'll never pay more when you reach a store through iGive. In fact, smart shoppers will enjoy iGive's repository of coupons, free shipping deals, and sales. To get started, just create your free iGive account at the link above or go to: http://www.iGive.com/WWAACC
If do you join and purchase something (no minimum order requirement) within 45 days (Amazon.com & Ebay are excluded from this offer) we receive an extra $5 for your purchase!
If you aren't a big online shopper, you can still help us out by joining IGive for free and then, once you are an iGive member, you can also use http://www.iSearchiGive.com/WWAACC (which is powered by Yahoo) instead of Google when you search the web and then each search you generate means a penny (or more!) for our cause! There is a great toolbar which makes searching this way a breeze. Considering the average person "googles" 100 times a month, your searches can add up quickly for us.
If you are already an iGive member and support another organization, but would like to support WWAACC as well, you can do so. Check it out!
