Supporters of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society are using the new LLS Toolbar, raising money for the cause with every Internet search and online purchase
What if even a fraction of the $140 billion generated by search engine advertising and online shopping was directed towards finding a cure for blood cancers and improving the quality of life of patients and their families?
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society recently teamed up with GoodSearch.com to launch the new Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Toolbar, which gives supporters a chance to raise money for the cause every time they search the Internet or shop online.
Once a supporter has added The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Toolbar to a web browser (like Internet Explorer, Safari or Firefox), each time s/he shops at one of more than 1,300 participating top stores (including Amazon, Target, Apple, Macy’s, Best Buy, Orbitz, Staples and others), LLS will earn a percentage of the purchase price – at no extra cost to the user!
The toolbar also includes a Yahoo! powered search box and every time a user searches the web, about a penny is donated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The pennies add up - just 5,000 supporters searching four times a day will earn around $73,000 in a year!
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Toolbar gives supporters at all income levels a tool to help raise funds for our cause. While doing a search or shopping online, why not raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society?
“We know there are a lot of people who want to do good, but may not have the time or the money to help out.” said Ken Ramberg, Co-Founder of GoodSearch and former President of MonsterTRAK, the largest online career site for college students (now a division of Monster.com). “The new Leukemia & Lymphoma Toolbar makes it as easy as possible. We’ve taken something people do every day -- searching the Internet and shopping online -- and have turned it into doing good."
