Valentine Hearts Charity Drive: We raised $7,214 for Planned Parenthood!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Valentine Hearts Charity Drive, benefiting Planned Parenthood.

We raised a total of $7,214 from 435 donations, for an average donation of just under $17.

Your generous support will help Planned Parenthood in its mission to improve women’s health and safety, prevent unintended pregnancies, and advance the right and ability of individuals and families to make informed and responsible choices.

Great job, everyone!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]It was a wonderful idea and deserved to be a big success.

Now, if more people will use GoodSearch as their primary search engine and select Planned Parenthood as their charity, an additional small but steady stream will continue to flow to that worthy organization.

stickies for feeding america? I think you should keep all the old fundraisers on schedule and have them go to charities.

then we REALLY need to talk about a system to help DUers who can't afford it, get stars (not to mention the strange set up that barely lets us get the 42 vs 60 dollar discount or whatever it was...)
