You search -- They give

Heard about a website on the radio yesterday and really wanted to share it with you. Here is the lowdown from their site:

GoodSearch.com is a search engine which donates 50-percent of its revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. It's a simple and compelling concept. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine. Because it's powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers - the users and the organizations do not spend a dime!
They also have a shopping portal, GoodShop, and you just click on a partner retail site and start shopping. GoodSearch will donate a portion (from 3% to 20%) of your purchase to your designated cause. These are stores you probably already shop at online anyway - Amazon, Sephora, iTunes, Best Buy, Zappos, Target, Barnes and Noble etc. There are hundreds of stores that participate.

So, you will raise money for your favorite charity (Leukemia Society!) or school (Harding Academy!) by doing something you do every day - searching the internet. It's free money for your cause.

It will take awhile for me to break my Google habit. But this is an easy way to help raise some money for my favorite causes. Hope you'll give it a try.

I thought you liked Tacos and Hot Stuff.
So Sorry to hear about your pain - but this all adds "flavor" to your book when you publish it.
The fundraising site is looking good. Your Daddy would be Very Proud.
