Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease)
April 11, 2009 - Kicking off its first fund-raising effort, the Because I Care Foundation, Inc. will begin hosting an annual $1 drive to raise money for the organization. The drive will take place for approximately 34 days, beginning on April 11th and end on May 15th, to coincide with the birthdays of both the founder Sharon Freeman, and her son DeVion Brown, respectively.
“I am really excited about starting this fundraiser. This will be the first major event of our organization that will hopefully help us to fulfill the mission of our cause!”
May 15th also marks the Annual Day of Awareness for The Vascular Birthmarks Foundation and the Annual Buddy Booby’s Birthmark Read-A-Long that the BIC members actively participate in. Knowing that there are so many people that are unable to donate money due to the current economic situation, the Foundation asks if you are unable to donate money, that you instead consider helping by doing your Internet searches via GoodSearch on behalf of the organization.
For every search that’s done online with GoodSearch, BIC earns 0.01˘. For every 100 searches, they will earn $1.00. For those who shop online, there are also a number of Web sites that will donate a percentage of your total purchase to the organization as well! Please visit http://www.goodsearch.com/?charityid=855944 to begin earning money for the Foundation. Another way to earn money for BIC is by visiting, subscribing to and e-mailing Sharon’s published articles on Associated Content. All proceeds earned through articles written by Sharon as well as visits to each article go directly to The Because I Care Foundation. Sharon’s Content Profile can be viewed by clicking on the link http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/25017/sharon_shae_freeman.html
Donations for the $1 drive can be made directly on their website at http://www.bic-foundation.org. Proceeds earned will go towards their mission to provide all doctors offices and hospitals brochures and handouts for families and patients who are affected by each of the lymphatic, vascular, and related syndromes and malformations.
“We ask that everyone who comes across this fundraiser to please email their friends and family the information on our website and spread the word about this event. This fundraiser is my birthday present to all of the families around the world who have faced, or are currently facing the medical issues that my own family deals with!”
“Every single dollar will greatly benefit the Organization in creating, producing, and shipping informational brochures to any doctor, doctor’s office, clinic, or hospital that requests them. This is to help them better assist their patients who are diagnosed with these various vascular and lymphatic malformations. Even if a cash donation is not possible, we would like for all donors to consider searching online on behalf of BIC through GoodSearch, and consider becoming a regular visitor of my articles on associatedcontent.com.”
