Countdown to Black Friday – iGive for the Holidays 2010
This holiday season, buy a gift that includes an automatic donation to OPERATION Hug-A-Hero at not cost to you when you shop at any of over 700 participating online stores (including Amazon, eBay, Toys-R-Us, and many more) through iGive. A portion of each purchase comes back to support our cause in the form of a donation check when you register OPERATION Hug-A-Hero as your charity of choice! It is that easy!
It’s free for you, free for us, and you pay the same (or less!) than you would by going directly to the online stores you usually shop at. Plus, there is a $5 donation bonus for your first purchase (within 45 days of registering).
To all you smart shoppers: don’t miss iGive’s treasure-trove of coupons, sales, and free shipping. Save money, save time, and send gifts that give twice. What could be better than that? You can use iGive anytime for any purchase- it doesn’t have to be gifts for someone else, and you can get a tax deduction receipt for the portion iGive donates on your behalf.
If you download the iGive Toolbar, you will donate a penny for every search you make too! Plus, the automatic tracking feature means you don’t have to remember to start at iGive.com when you shop most stores. Check out the 700+ online stores after you register, and watch for special rate donations. For example, right now if you join eBay through the iGive link and place a bid or Buy-It-Now in the next 30 days, an $11 donation will be sent on your behalf to Operation Hug-A-Hero.
Want to get a headstart on planning your online shopping? Check out Blackfriday.info’s Black Friday Deals for all of the online specials from major stores that could be yours. Then, click on over to iGive.com to make your purchase count for our littlest heroes! Just don’t forget to search “Operation Hug-A-Hero” to select our cause and bookmark it before you start shopping!
As always, we thank you for your support!



I love iGive! With just the routine online shopping that I do year-round, I have generated over $100 in donations to Operation Hug-A-Hero! That is 4 dolls for our military kids just by doing what I would already do anyway!
Thanks to iGive and its participating merchants for making this possible!
This is a great service for those wanting to shop online with Safety and Security with their online purchasing. A new article out today says that 55% of web users will shop online this Christmas. What can be better than the ability to shop at over 700+ stores from my comfy chair and at the same time raise money for my charitable cause every time I even search ? Oh and did I mention the prices are great too? Hope everyone reading this picks Operation Hug-A-Hero as their cause.
