Help Us Pick a Cause to Support

A few years ago we promoted Sunshine Rewards charities of the month. Somehow we got out of that practice and would like to get back to raising money for good causes. One of the problems is that there are so many causes to support that it is hard to choose!

That’s where you come in. We want to promote causes that are near and dear to the hearts of our members. We’d like to try something new this month. From now through September 18, submit to us a charity that you want us to raise money for. It can be a big known organization like Make a Wish or something smaller, even in your community.

We’ll take those entries and on September 19 open it up for voting for 5-10 of those (depending on how many are submitted). The cause with the most votes will be our first charity. For the week of September 23 we will have various ways that members can donate credits and we will match them. In addition, we’ll auction off some prizes with the proceeds going to your charity.

If you have a charity that you would like to nominate, click here to fill out a simple form!

Here’s all the fine print:

  • You must be an active member of Sunshine Rewards as of September 16, 2013, to nominate. We want to support causes important to our loyal members!
  • Voting will be public voting and you are encouraged to tell your friends to vote.
  • The chosen charity MUST have 501(c)(3) status and be willing to provide documentation.
  • Charity submissions will end September 18, 2013, at midnight.

    Thank you for considering the American Cancer Society nomination on behalf of all the Sunshiners who are fighting cancer. I was diagnosed two and one half years ago with Stage 4 metastatic Renal Cell cancer. I’ve been fortunate to respond to targeted oral chemo but it is not a cure. My sister, Mary Lynn Rodgers, was not as lucky to respond to her chemo. Many of you knew her as iTeach from the Forum. She was diagnosed with cancer in March and passed away on June 30. Please honor her memory and her contributions to Sunshine Rewards by selecting this charity. Thank you.
