Make Yahoo Your Homepage To Help Raise $10,000

The following is a post sponsored by Yahoo! Every time someone clicks here to make Yahoo! their homepage, they’re showing their support for Girls For A Change.

I was selected for this opportunity by Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.

I love sharing opportunities to help a good cause, especially when they won’t cost my readers a penny. This is one of those great opportunities.

You can be part of a big change with a simple click. For simply changing your browser’s homepage to Yahoo using THIS LINK, Yahoo will donate $10 to Girls for a Change. The catch is you have to make the change by tomorrow (July 1).

Girls For A Change (GFC) is a national organization that empowers girls to create social change. We invite young women to design, lead, fund and implement social change projects that tackle issues girls face in their own neighborhoods. GFC empowers girls for personal and social transformation. The program inspires girls to have the voice, ability and problem solving capacity to speak up, be decision makers, create visionary change and realize their full potential.

Make a difference in the lives of girls today. They are tomorrow’s mothers, teachers, friends and leaders. And all it takes is one simple click.

Since we are on such a limited time table, I encourage you to utilize your social media networks to spread the word about this easy opportunity to help raise money for a worthy cause. It will only take 1,000 people to make this simple change to donate the full $10,000 so pass make the change and tell your friends how they can make a difference with a simple click too.

I made the change, did you?


Buy Two Packs of Energizer Batteries Get a $10 Gas Card ~ Giveaway

When you have kids, you go through a LOT of batteries. Sheesh! I swear when they are small, everything takes batteries – musical toys, learning toys, flashlights, dancing toys, talking toys and, of course, cameras to capture all those toys in pixels! We go through lots of batteries, which is why I love long-lasting batteries and batteries with a hot deal.

Since the other thing we moms use a LOT of is gas, Energizer has a deal to help make both last longer. Purchase two packs of specially-marked Energizer® Ultimate Lithium or Energizer®Advanced Lithium batteries and you will get a $10 Prepaid Discover® Gas Rewards* card mailed to you. (This is good for AA and AAA Lithium batteries only, and you can find more details about this promo on Energizer’s Facebook Page.)
