PARC Selected as the Charity of the Day on GoodSearch!

MARK your calendars for December 11, 2007 to support PARC just by searching the Internet!

PARC is honored to be selected by GoodSearch as their Charity of the Day for December 11, 2007.  The Charity of the Day program gives GoodSearch the opportunity to honor the good work PARC does. Our PARC logo and a link to our website, www.PARCway.org, will be featured Nationally on the GoodSearch homepage.

GoodSearch.com is a search engine that donates half its search revenue (about a penny a search) to the charities its users designate.  You use it just as you would any search engine, and it’s powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results.  It adds up - just 500 of us searching four times a day will raise about $7300 in a year without anyone spending a dime!

What if PARC earned a penny every time you searched the Internet  and a percentage of your sale every time you shopped online? Well, now we can! 

Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter PARC as the charity you want to support.  And, be sure to check out GoodSearch on Tuesday, December 11, 2007 as we are going to be nationally featured as the Charity of the Day!   

In addition, more than 100 retailers including Target, Macy's, The Gap, Best Buy, Nordstrom, PetSmart, Staples and Wal*Mart have teamed up with GoodSearch to donate a percentage of each sale to the nonprofit or school of your choice! 
 

PARC wishes to thank GoodSearch for honoring PARC as the Charity of the Day and for their continued support of our mission to provide choices for a quality life to individuals with developmental disabilities. GoodSearch not only helps us to raise funds to support our programs, it also allows us to broaden awareness of or our organization!
