VHLFA: Help Raise Money to Find a Cure

Please Help!

Choose a project, and help to promote it

in your workplace or your community.

Your efforts will help to make VHL

a household word, and raise money to find a cure.

What if VHLFA earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Well, now we can!

GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue to the charities its users designate. You use it just as you would any search engine, and it’s powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results. Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter VHL Family Alliance as the charity you want to support. Or simply click here to change your default homepage to GoodSearch. Just 500 of us searching four times a day will raise about $7300 in a year without anyone spending a dime! And, be sure to check out GoodSearch on June 10, 2007, as we are going to be featured as the Charity of the Day!

"After hearing about the firstgiving.com/vhl web site, I created my own page, which was simple, and am surprised at the money being raised. I only started out sending it to my family, and they have forwarded it to some of their friends, and I have raised over $1000 already. If everyone gives it a whirl, we can really get some money going into VHLFA and hopefully speed up the pace to finding a cure to VHL. Check it out for yourself!" -- Donna H., Florida

Shop for VHL!

At iGive.com you can donate the commissions on your purchases to the Cancer Research Fund / VHL Alliance. Give while you shop!

Wedding Registry

There are a number of offers to earn credits for your charity while you shop for your wedding. The best option seems to be The I Do Foundation ( www.idofoundation.org). You need to register (for free) as a couple with the I Do Foundation at their website. Once you have done this you can choose the charity that you would like money to go to, by clicking on ‘select charities’. VHL Family Alliance is not on their initial ‘recommended’ list of charities, but there is also an option to ‘suggest a nonprofit’. If you suggest the VHL Family Alliance they have already approved us and they will accept us as your charity of choice. Once you’ve done this, you have different choices for how money can be raised for VHLFA: See more details
