August 09, 2007 - How often are you approached for a donation for a worthy cause? There are so many organizations deserving of our attention – cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, homelessness, education, safety. We all want to help. However, with a variety of respectable choices and limited funds, how do you choose which one to help?
What if you could donate to help without spending an extra dime? What if you could help victims of violent crime by doing something you do on a regular basis?
As the CEO of Executive Defense Technology, LLC, (http://www.execdeftech.com) an anti-victimization / self-defense organization, Kimberly Elliott wanted to find a way to help victims of violent crime without having to ask people to choose where they wanted to place their discretionary funds. After much thought and research she found an online opportunity – Travel.
Everyone travels and with the growing number of baby boomers, college students returning to school and business travelers, the amount of money being spent in the travel industry is growing daily. Today, many people rely on the internet for their travel needs – it’s fast, convenient and easy. There are many popular sites: Orbitz, Expedia, Yahoo! Travel. They are all excellent sources of outstanding deals on everything from your hotel stay and car rental to airline travel and cruises. Even though these sites on online and a travel agent may not be involved, an organization is still receiving a commission for booking your travel.
What if you booked your travel through a web site that was powered by Travelocity, is comparable to or could save you money over the other sites and the money raised would be used to help foster programs for victims of violent crimes such as education, counseling and other forms of support. Would you use this web site to book your travel knowing that you were not only going to enjoy a wonderful trip or vacation but you were also able to help educate children on “stranger danger”, help a woman leave an abusive relationship or help support a program to counsel victims of sexual abuse?
Well, Executive Defense Technology has set up such a web site at http://www.travel4victimsofcrime.org. It doesn’t cost you anything!! You book your car, hotel, air, cruise and the agent proceeds will be going to a worthy cause. No choices and money left over for all the other deserving charities seeking support. So, the next time you schedule your travel on line choose Travel 4 Victims of Crime. It’s easy – click, book your travel today, help others - and pass the information along!
