[nfbwatlk] Another Fund-raising POssibility

[Rebekah Jakeman]

It sounds a lot like a fundraiser my kids preschool has.  The way it works 
is, you buy stuff/order online at Schwan and give them the ID number for the 
NFB campaign.  Then a percentage of your bill paid goes to the NFB.  At the 
end of the month, quarter, or whatever, Schwan will send a check to the NFB 
of the total amount raised by people shopping with Schwan.  My kids' school 
just got a nice check from a local grocery store because students' families 
shopped there and gave the school's ID number when they checked out and 
paid.  I think something like 5% of each bill was taken and given for the 
school--it's a way of embedded giving if you know what I mean.
