You can help raise money by using this search engine, proceeds go to the charity of your choice!



Hello everyone.
We all know how times are tough and we would like to donate but when we dont have the money ourselves to donate what can we do? Well here is one thing you can do and it will not cost you anything.
You can use GOODSEARCH for your internet searches. GoodSearch is powered by Yahoo so your search will be as if you used Yahoo- only the Vascualitis Foundation will receive a penny for each search. If 1,000 people use GoodSearch to search the internet twice a day for a year, the VF (Vascualitis Foundation) would earn $7,300. The key is getting the word out so tell your friends and family and co-workers.
To get started go to and select Vasculitis Foundation, Kansas City. You can also add GoodSearch to your browsers toolbar at: http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbars.aspx
To date the use of Good search has raised over $500 for the VF. Just think of how much more we can earn for them by doing this, and its easy and free.
Download toolbar! Its fast and easy to do!


Now here is another way you can earn money for VF or the kdfoundation.org!

Use GOODSHOP for any online purchases you might make such as travel, flowers, clothes or an item for your home. GoodShop is the sister company of GoodSearch and is an online mall with more than 600 popular retailers ranging from Saks to Wal-Mart. GoodShop will donate on average 3% of the purchase price, but up to 20% or more, depending on the retailer. By shopping through this online mall site, you will recieve the same goods or services at the same online price as if you went directly through the retailer-only you be earning money for the VF by doing so. Please be sure to designate the VF as your charity. For more information to get started go to www.goodshop.com or use the GoodShop button on the GoodSearch site. Remember to spread the word.

These are two easy way to help raise money for the VF or the kdfoundation.org.
Go to www.vasculitisfoundation.org to learn more of what they do and how they help. Please help and pass the word along!
