Planning on donating to help Hurricane Katrina victims? Make the most of your money with matching donations! Here are a couple I've come across:
*The Ellen DeGeneres Show & Warner Brothers will match your donation to the Red Cross! Up to $500,000 matched.
Here's the spot.
*
Lowe's will match any donations to the Red Cross up to $2 million made *in-store only*. See box at bottom of their home page.
*Until Sept. 30th,
Best Buy will match any online or in-store donations to the Red Cross up to $1 million dollars.
*
Sears/K-Mart will match in-store donations to the Red Cross up to $500,000.
*
The McCormick Tribune will
match $.50 of every $1 donated to it's fund of the first $2 million received.
*Join the
Oxygen "Oh! Speakup!" Campaign (free sign-up) and Oxygen will donate $1 to the Texas Children's Hospital up to $10,000.
*Also, check to see if your employer matches any charitable donations!! An easy way for it to add up!
Don't forget our animal friends...Donate to the
ASPCA!
For a pretty darn complete list of donations made by corporations,
CNN is on it.
If you don't have money you can spare, a
local Corpus Christie business called Coffee Cup is collecting "comfort items" for the estimated 250,000 people for whom Texas will be caring. You would simply have to ship items to them.
