Beyond Boxtops .... Easy ways to support our schools without spending a dime
Unless you’ve been living under a log these past six months, you are well aware of the deep recession we are currently in. No one is immune to the economic downturn – families, businesses, governments at all levels and even our schools.
There are many simple ways to support your public school without reaching for the checkbook or that extra change in your pocket.
Each time you shop at one of more than 1,300 participating top stores (from Amazon to Zazzle!), TVEF will earn a percentage of the purchase price – at no extra cost to you (you may even save money with provided coupons and deals)! Download the new TVEF toolbar. It also includes a search box and each time you search the web, about a penny is donated to us!. http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbars.aspx?charityID=852877
Last year supporters under this program raised almost $700 just by searching the internet. With this new tool we are hopeful that people will support TVEF when they shop online too! Our goal is to raise $1000 this year through GoodSearch & Good Shop.
