Search and Shop -- for a Worthy Cause!
It doesn't seem that long ago that my mom called, explaining that she had breast cancer and would need surgery. I remember being shocked and concerned, asking people to pray for her that I had never asked to pray for anything else. She was certainly resolute and prayerful as she faced surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and five years of follow-up medication. Today she is a breast cancer survivor, and I am thankful for all those who prayed for her and helped raise money for research to help find treatment for those who face breast cancer. As you may know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you have not had a chance to participate in a 5K or take part in another fundraiser for breast cancer research, we have a few more options for you to help this worthy cause.
GoodSearch.com and GoodShop.com One way many people are making a difference in addressing breast cancer is by actively supporting organizations and medical researchers who are working to find a cure. They are using the search engine GoodSearch.com which donates about a penny per search to the organization of the user’s choice.
Similarly, the sister site GoodShop.com donates a percentage of each purchase at more than 1,000 stores (including Amazon, Target, Apple, GNC, and others) to the breast cancer charity the user selects. There are hundreds of great deals and coupons, so not only are you helping raise money for breast cancer research, but you’re saving money while doing so!
Over 80,000 nonprofits, including the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund, Susan G Komen Affiliates across the country, and the Breast Cancer Research Fund, are actively earning funds from the GoodSearch and GoodShop strategy with over 100 organizations submitting new applications daily.
