Fundraiser for Japan

We're so excited to announce that THIS Tuesday, April 5th, we are starting our four week "Change from the Heart" fundraiser for Humanitarian Aid. We're collecting any loose change that might be stuffed in places like your sofa cushions, your junk drawer, or car cup holder. (Of course, you're welcome to donate more!) We'll have drawing prizes for 3 of our lucky donors. The drawing will take place on May 3rd. (More on the prizes later) 100% of all donations will then be donated to the Humanitarian Aid Fund of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints. There, 100% of your donation goes to help the Earthquake/Tsunami victims of Japan, other such disasters and many other wonderful humanitarian aid projects. Read here for more info. If you'd rather just make a donation right now online, you can do so here. To be entered into the contest, we'll need to see a copy of your donation receipt. If you would prefer your donation goes to the American Red Cross instead, please let us know or you can donate online here. If you'd like to help collect donations or have any questions...please email us at changefromtheheart@yahoo.com.
