Use GoodSearch.com to Raise money for the SBCSA – it doesn’t get any easier than this!
The SBCSA has been added to the list of non-profits supported by GoodSearch.com. For every Internet search done through GoodSearch, the SBCSA is credited with one click. At the end of the year, each organization receives some of the proceeds GoodSearch earns when users click on a sponsored link (those that appear at the top of the page or in the right margin of the search results). The estimated return is about $0.01 per click. It doesn't sound like much but if all our members, families, and friends use GoodSearch, it will add up over the year.
To set up GoodSearch, click on the link provided below, then save the page as a Bookmark or Favorite. This link should automatically select the SBCSA as the non-profit of choice.
