Dear Friends,
You can help support SSPF through internet searches and shopping on line.
Internet Searches:
Do you do a lot of internet searches? Ever notice the 'sponsored links'
that appear at the top, bottom or side of your search? There's a website
that allows you to conduct your searches and raise money for the Sam Schmidt
Paralysis Foundation at the same time: GoodSearch.
GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue, about a
penny per search, to the charities its users designate. You use it just as
you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get great
results.
Just go to: www.goodsearch.com <http://www.goodsearch.com/> and be sure to
enter Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation as the charity you want to support.
Just 500 of us searching four times a day will raise about $7,300 in a year
without anyone spending a dime! And, be sure to spread the word!
Online Shopping for SSPF:
If you enjoy shopping online, there are sites you can shop on/through that
will contribute some portion of your purchases to Sam Schmidt Paralysis
Foundation. Percentages of each purchase differ from site to site and store
to store but a portion of every purchase will be sent to SSPF. Be certain
to designate Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation.
Here are just a few. If you know of others, just let us know!
