Donate to DHF before Dec. 31: help us connect people touched by diabetes and raise diabetes awareness

Community
1

Until December 31, 2010, we are holding a fundraising campaign to benefit the Diabetes Hands Foundation, the nonprofit behind TuDiabetes.org. Our goal is to raise $15,000 for the Diabetes Hands Foundation by year's end. All donations made within the US are tax-deductible.

HELP US CONNECT PEOPLE TOUCHED BY DIABETES
AND RAISE DIABETES AWARENESS.

See how things are looking vs. our goal by checking out the thermometer on the right side of the page periodically. With your help, we can offer support and information to more than 200,000 people every month.
We have designated four levels for you to help us (or you can help us by becoming a DHF Community Fundraiser):

**** CLICK HERE TO DONATE AT THE RED LEVEL ($151 or more) ****


**** CLICK HERE TO DONATE AT THE ORANGE LEVEL (between $51 and $150) ****


**** CLICK HERE TO DONATE AT THE BLUE LEVEL (between $1 and $25) ****

This reminds me : I still have not added my supporter badge from the previous , previous fund raiser ... have not figured out " how to " yet

Manny, do you think you can give me the tax information for DHF? I play games on Club Big (from Microsoft), and they give me "tickets" for all the games I play... Usually, I use them to get myself something fancy... because they have fancy prizes in exchange for tickets... But they also allow me to donate to any charity of my choice... 1 penny a ticket.. and I have well over 13,000 tickets. I need the name of the organization, the address, and the EIN number. :) Thanks.

This is a great idea! I'm sure a lot of people have points on there they could donate :)

Manny I hate to say it but it's another time I can't do anything. But please know I will do all I can in other ways. Money is still very tight around here.
