Since this site started, for the last few years during the month of October I’ve traditionally posted throughout October on new products and promotions that help breast cancer awareness. Breast Cancer awareness, after all, is the charity that really got charity gifting and cause-related marketing booming in the first place. This year I’ve been a […]

October 6th, 2012 · No Comments · Disaster Relief
This past summer was one of the most devastating wildfire seasons in Colorado history. It cost six lives and destroyed over 600 homes.

This year, the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation is selling a unique ornament and bookmark to celebrate the Statue of Liberty. Both pieces of art are handcrafted AND made in the USA by […]

Filipino T-Shirt to Help Flooding in Manila and the Phillipines
September 23rd, 2012 · No Comments · Disaster Relief
While most of us in the United States were focused on Hurricane Isaac here on the Western Hemisphere, there was a deadly typhoon, Typhoon Haikui, that was pummeling Asia.

NetFlix for Ties! Rent a Tie and help support a cure for prostate cancer #bluetieday
September 17th, 2012 · No Comments · Cancer
If you’re like me, you have a drawer full of ties you’ve gotten over the years. A lot of them were probably gifts, some you may have bought as “emergency ties” on the street, others were ties that you bought because you saw them and liked them. But bottom line, now you have a drawer […]

America's New Telethon: Stand Up to Cancer happens September 7
September 5th, 2012 · No Comments · Cancer
For years I used to watch Jerry Lewis’s telethon for muscular dystrophy every Labor Day. Sure, it got schmatlzy and corny at times, but there was just something wonderful about seeing Jerry every year with his kids. Sadly, the MDA seems to have made a couple terrible mistakes in the last few years. The first […]
