The Trevor Project

Sorry for the hiatus but I’m back! This week’s post does not take much however it is a Facebook one (Sorry I know there are a lot these days however Facebook lets people help out!).  Esurance has teamed up with The Trevor Project and is donating $5 to them for every profile pic that is added to the NTL (Need to Talk Live) Movement. It is very easy, all you have to do is upload your photo and $5 will be donated to The Trevor Project (up to $50k). The Trevor Project is a wonderful organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention to LGBTQ youth. So this week when you are on Facebook and have a couple minutes head over to the Esurance NTL Movement site and upload your photo.

Until next week,

Annie

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 21^st 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.

Odwalla Tree Planting Projects

This week’s post is awesome but needs to be done in the next few days, by the 31^st of May to be exact. Odwalla has a contest going on right now to help our environment. Each person gets one vote and the top 10 tree planting projects with the most votes will get $10,000 to make their project happen. All of these projects have to deal with our environment and making it greener. Each project has a video attached so you can watch all the different videos and then vote for you favorite. Make sure to pay attention though because you only get to vote once. So in the next couple days when you have a few minutes hop over to the site watch a few videos and then vote for a project you want to see happen. Happy tree planting!

Until next week,

Annie

Dawn

This week we are going to help wildlife through Dawn. For every bottle of Dawn that you buy, you can enter a code that is on the back and $1 will be donated to the International Bird Rescue and The Marine Mammal Center. It doesn’t take much and you are helping make a difference. The Dawn Saves Wildlife website is being updated, however they are still taking codes and donating money. So take some time this week and if you have Dawn soap lying around go online and enter the code. Happy dish washing!

Until next week,

Kashi Real Project

After quite a bit of searching I finally have this week’s blog post! Unfortunately for those of you that do not use Facebook you will have to sit out until next week’s post (or pester your friends who do have facebook to take part!). Kashi has teamed up with Share Our Strength Cooking Matters Colorado to help bring courses to teach low-income families across Colorado how to budget, shop for, and prepare healthy meals. For every like on the Kashi Real Project page on facebook, Kashi will donate $10 to the organization. The $10 will help provide 46 people with better access to eating right. That’s a lot of people that you are helping just by merely clicking “like”. The Kashi REAL Project features different organizations throughout the year that are working on solving the Real Food Deficit so make sure to check back and see what their next project is. The one for this week’s blog only goes until May 9 so make sure to act on this one fast so they can get as much money as possible. Happy Healthy Eating!

Until next week,

Annie
