Circle de Luz

GoodSearch with us! August 28, 2008

You already know that Circle de Luz is committed to supporting seven young women, starting this fall, on their road to high school graduation and further education by providing scholarships and support.  Now, you can support Circle de Luz in a whole new way by doing something you probably do everyday: using a search engine on the internet or shopping on the internet. 

GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up!  GoodShop.com is a new online shopping mall which donates up to 37 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause! Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, ebay, Macy’s and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an order, you can support Circle de Luz.

So how does it work?

• Visit www.goodsearch.com and enter Circle de Luz in the blank where it says Who do you GoodSearch for?  Then hit verify.  Now, you are set up to search (or shop) with credit going to Circle de Luz.    
• Search the Internet just like you normally would.
• If you want to see the money totaling up, head back to GoodSearch after your web-search, make sure Circle de Luz’s name is still in the box, and then hit Amount Raised.  You’ll see pennies begin to add up to dollars in no time. 

Do this and help us reach our first fundraising benchmark with GoodSearch!  The GoodSearch fiscal year runs from October 1 until September 30.  With only 33 days remaining in their fiscal year, Circle de Luz has a goal of raising $75 to pay for t-shirts for our seven Class of 2014 scholars.  Won’t you GoodSearch with us? 

Thanks so much!
