Why? We want people to consider buying and browsing at iGive.com when the
time is right, and we're happy to donate money to Transverse Myelitis
Association
to help that happen.
Once people see what we're doing and try it, they like it! Our members are
excited that they can raise money for their favorite cause just by shopping
online - it's convenient, it saves money, and now it supports worthy causes.
**From 2.5% to 12.5% of the purchase price of products purchased through
iGive.com goes to support worthy causes such as Transverse Myelitis
Association.
The list of merchants has grown to 21, and I've put the list in a long 'PS'
at the end of this newsletter. You pay the same price as if you went
directly to the online merchant. You choose from a huge variety of top
brands, and pay highly competitive prices. It's terrific.
An easy way to take advantage:
Music Boulevard's Special 3 CDs for $30 offer.
$5.00 donation for the new member joining iGive.com.
5.00 donation for the first purchase through iGive.com. (Good for a
member's first purchase at any merchant through iGive.com --
through 12/31/98).
2.40 donation (8% of purchase) per our regular deal.
==========
$12.40 Total donation to Transverse Myelitis Association
A new member gets 3 great CDs for only $30, and $12.40 goes to
Transverse Myelitis Association (A first purchase by an existing
member raises $7.40, and that's cool, too!)
The link that counts for credit to Transverse Myelitis Association:
http://www.igive.com/html/ssi.cfm?cid=3417&mid=25997
You can put it in your own e-mail, or just forward this one. Your friends
can forward it to their friends. The link is still good. The more members
you refer, the more money you raise this month, and the bigger support base
you build for Transverse Myelitis Association for 1999. Just think - the
average member can raise tens or hundreds of dollars AND expand
your base by referring other supporters. You can plant those seeds right
now with this offer, and see 1999 really work for you, and for
Transverse Myelitis Association.
(Of course, any iGive.com member can change the cause they choose to
support at any time.)
So Refer Away! You'll be doing a lot of good for Transverse Myelitis
Association,
and worthy causes in general.
And I urge you, before you spend money, take a moment to review the
fantastic selection from these great merchants. Chances are you'll find a
better deal, and do better by Transverse Myelitis Association in
the bargain. You have a choice when you shop, and one of them supports
your cause.
Some of these merchants can get you products or gift certificates in time
for Christmas, so there may be some help for us procrastinators in here.
(Remember, to get credit for Transverse Myelitis Association, you must be
an iGive.com member, click through the iGive.com mall to the vendor, and
forward your e-mail order confirmation to orders(AT)iGive.com.)
Thanks. Happy Holidays, and may your cause have a Prosperous Referral Month
in December.

Creations is an online catalog full of gifts for all occasions that can be
personalized for the recipient.
Dogtoys.com. Toys for Dogs. 7.5% Donation.
If you don't have a dog, you'll never understand this store. If you do, it

Impulse Buy was founded by a New Yorker who hates paying retail, and wanted
a web service that has nothing but deals, deals, deals. Try it through

Digital Chef. Cooking Supplies. 7.5% Donation.
They have 2 day shipping for only $5, and they have something for anyone on
