Donation Widget - This is a neat little widget that you can put on your facebook page, or your blog or website. People can make a donation directly through the widget, wherever they find it. Simply click on the Copy button on the widget, chose facebook or website, and follow the instructions for pasting it onto your site or facebook. It is so simple to do, and can even be shared as a wall post on facebook, so let all your friends know about us! Go to Uschi's blog to grab the widget - CLICK HERE.

Collection Bottles - We've raised a lot of money just using our collection bottles. See if you can put one out at work, at a local shop, at your post office, restaurants - you name it. Register with us and we'll send you files to print out labels, and instructions on turning a 2-liter bottle into a collection can. REGISTER HERE.

Hold an Event - Hold a local event to benefit Pennies in Action. We have had several types of events done where money was raised for us - Community Service projects for school (see Katie's project, Wallingford 5), a Bat Mitzvah project, a hockey tournament (organized by two 12 year old players), and various shopping events where a portion of the sales are donated to us. If you want to do a local event, please contact Uschi Keszler at ukeszler@penniesinaction.org. When you register with us, we can send you files for posters and labels, and we can add your event to our Events page. Check out the EVENTS page for more ideas.

Shop to Donate - Do you shop online? Then we have a free and easy way for you to donate to Pennies!
We have received a generous donation of a Virtual Shopping Mall, where a portion of every sale comes back to Pennies as a donation. There are over 850 stores partnered with this virtual mall, including such familiar names as Barnes & Noble, Apple iTunes, Bath and Body Works, Best Buy, Bloomingdales, GNC, Home Depot, Hotwire, Expedia, Staples,...and the list goes on. Categories range from clothing, to electronics, to travel.

There is also a virtual mall for 'Green' products - Shop To Earth - and the donated portions of each of those sales are even more generous. You will find an extensive list of stores and 'Green' products available. You can enter the Shop To Earth site by clicking on it at the top right of the mall page. With Shop To Earth and the donations from sales, you can save the planet and help us wipe out cancer at the same time!

The amount donated from each sale varies from store to store, and is displayed with each shop's link.

     Here's how to donate to the Pennies Fund while you shop:
1.  go to our virtual mall website at WWW.SHOPTOEARN.NET/PENNIESINACTION
2.  you can shop by category, or by using the drop down menu - select your store, then click in to it
3.  shop as you normally would - including using coupons, promo codes, or gift cards
4.  the rebate amount will be automatically donated to Pennies in Action

     TWO NOTES ON THE SHOPPING:
1.  please close all other open browsers when you are placing your order(s)
2.  you must go in to the store's website from our virtual mall page, and complete the sale from there - if you leave the site, we will not get credit for the sale - so if you want to go back to a store later to make a purchase, please remember to go in through www.shoptoearn.net/penniesinaction

Thank you for your support - and happy shopping!
