Since December, our special challenges have meant tens of thousands of dollars for the organizations listed
at iGive, groups just like Yorkie Haven Rescue. These challenges are our response to the tough economic times.
We're tremendously pleased that they're working, so we've put together another 24 hour / $5,000 challenge.
It requires your participation, but it is free and definitely easy.
We'll give Yorkie Haven Rescue a dollar for each person who joins iGive using the special link below and visits one
store via iGive between noon Wednesday, February 24, 2010 (Chicago time) and noon Thursday, the next day.
Here's where you come in. Send your friends, family, and colleagues the following link in an e-mail, tweet it, do a
Facebook posting, put up posters, shout from mountain tops (you know the drill) and let them know you think
Yorkie Haven Rescue is pretty cool and deserves their support, especially since it's free! You can even just forward
this e-mail. The only way Yorkie Haven Rescue will get new supporters and that free $1 (or more)
is if you invite them.
This is the link:
iGive : Raise money for Yorkie Haven Rescue, every time you search the web.
5,000 new members, $5,000. No purchase necessary. That's 5,000 new members for all causes, not just
yours, and it's only for 24 hours, so it's a bit of race.
It can turn into more than a dollar, much more ... if these new members search or buy something at an iGive store they'll
earn much-needed money for Yorkie Haven Rescue. Right now, we're donating a special bonus
of $5 for that first purchase plus the usual percentage. Active iGive members raise an average of over $40
per year for their cause.
The details:
- Offer active between 12:00 p.m. February 24, 2010 and 11:59 a.m., February 25, 2010 (Chicago time).
- New members only (never have been an iGive member previously). All the normal rules of membership, searching, and
purchasing apply, our site has the details.
- Once we've given away $5,000 in total, the offer ends.
- The special link and visiting a store via iGive are necessary. No link, no store visit, no $1.
That's it. We've got a new look (a real facelift) that we're interested in testing out, so spreading the word helps both
Yorkie Haven Rescue and iGive. Check it out yourself at
