Friday’s Kolimbo Merchant spotlight included the following new merchant notice:
We are offering you an opportunity to partner with March of Dimes for the health of the future, in return March of Dimes is willing to acknowledge you as an affiliate partner, annual acknowledgements of donation that you can use as you see fit.
There ya go… but how do you decide? A nickel? Maybe 25 cents a click?
Hmmmm…..
If you are unfamiliar with the March of Dimes, here is their mission statement:
The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. We carry out this mission through research, community services, education and advocacy to save babies’ lives. March of Dimes researchers, volunteers, educators, outreach workers and advocates work together to give all babies a fighting chance against the threats to their health: prematurity, birth defects, low birth weight.
Great cause.
However, animal lovers may wish to note that there are a number of worthwhile charities that do birth defect research WITHOUT animal testing, eg. Easter Seals , Birth Defect Research for Children and the Spina Bifida Association of America.
Just thought you’d like to know.
Cheers,
Ros
