100 Cars for Good


This, well last weeks, blog post is helping a lot of people. Unfortunately it is another Facebook one so those who don’t have Facebook I apologize. Toyota is giving away 100 cars to nonprofits every day for 100 days. From now until August 21st you can visit 100carsforgood.com every day to vote for one of five nonprofits that you feel deserves a new car. At the end of each day, Toyota will give a new car to the organization with the most votes. Each organization has a video, an explanation, and why they need the car so you can make a thoughtful decision on who you want to vote for. So this week when you are spending some time on Facebook make sure to head over to the 100 cars for good page and vote for the organization of your choice. Happy voting!

Until next week,
Annie

Red and Checking-in on Four Square


This week’s blog post cannot be done by all of my readers, including myself, however it is important enough for me to post it! From now until June 10 every check-in on Foursquare at Starbucks and select retailers of Penfolds and Bugaboo will trigger a donation from these (Red) partners to help fight AIDS. For every check-in $1 will be donated. So this coming week when you are grabbing a cup of coffee or just going to chill at your local Starbucks make sure to check-in on foursquare, if you have it, to help in the fight against AIDS. Happy checking-in!

Until next week,
Annie

PS: For those of you who do not have Foursquare, check out the other ways donations are being made.
