May 11 (Day 72) Bringing the FUN to Fundraising !

Do you play online games? How would you like to be able to help raise money for worthwhile causes while playing games.... Sounds great, doesn't it!   Well, you can do just that... Check out this site. 

GamesThatGive is a small team of like minded individuals who have banded together to bring fun to fundraising! The GamesThatGive team believes that each and every person wants to help others, to volunteer, to make a difference. But in today’s busy 24-hour connected world it is more difficult than ever to find the time, or money, to contribute and give back in a meaningful way.

The good news, however, is that current advances in technology and changes in our lifestyle, while part of the problem, also hold the solution.

We believe that there is a new kind of fundraising on the horizon. One that utilizes existing behavior because people are busy, and social networks, and mobile devices because people want to keep in touch, but are constantly on the go, and cause marketing because people have made it clear to corporations that that want to know how corporations are helping their communities.

GamesThatGive is commited to creating a new way to contribute to the causes that mean the most to you, and to make it fun and easy, so that it just feels good! GamesThatGive is a for-profit corporation that donates 70% of its ad revenue, not our ad profits, but our ad revenue, to the charity that you select.

There are several different charities to choose to support - Ronald McDonald House, American Heart Association, Feeding America and several others.  You can create an account and choose your charity or you can play as a guest.  You can also choose to support a different charity every time you log in.  There is an ever changing total on the screen, so you see how you are making a difference!  Understand that you are not raising tons of money, but again... it comes back to the small efforts of many pooling together to make a HUGE difference!  Whenever you have a little free time and want to make a difference, check it out!!
