Every child that experiences the life-changing impact of a SeriousFun camp is able to do so because of the caring and generosity of others. Whether it’s being away from home for the first time, making new friends, trying something they never thought they could do, it is only possible because of the community that supports SeriousFun, its campers, families, staff and volunteers all year round.
But that support doesn’t happen in just one way, and giving seriously doesn’t have to mean serious work for you. Here are a few ways to tweak your every day shopping activities and create a stream of donations without even breaking a sweat.
American Express Points
Looking to give, but want to do it in a way that makes all those credit card points that you mindlessly accumulate count? If you’re an AmEx cardholder, you’re in luck! American Express Members Give allows you to convert your points into charitable donations. You can easily donate points (or make a contribution and earn points!) through justgiving.com.
It Seriously Adds Up
What may seem to you to be small transactions really do add up throughout the course of a year and contribute in a meaningful way to children living with serious illnesses and their families who are able to experience our life-changing camps and programs free of charge.
