Search On-line... Give to Glisson


GoodSearch: You Search...We Give!
Give by searching the web 
Yahoo! has teamed-up with GoodSearch.com to donate a penny to Camp Glisson every time you search the web.  This is totally free for you as the money comes from advertisers.  All you have to do is visit GoodSearch.com, select Camp Glisson as your charity, then search as usual.  Click on the "amount raised" button to see how much Glisson supporters have raised so far.

By downloading the GoodSearch toolbar to your desktop, each search is incredibly easy because the search box remains at the top of your screen. 

Now instead of "googling", you can start "searching for Glisson."

More than 700 of your favorite on-line retailers, including Amazon, eBay, Target, iTunes, Staples, Nordstrom and more, have partnered with GoodSearch's sister site, GoodShop.com, donating a percentage of your purchases to Camp Glisson at no additional cost to you!

Now you can make a donation to Glisson every time you shop on-line.

Simply start with GoodShop.com, click through to your favorite on-line retailer, and then shop as normal.  Dowloading the GoodShop toolbar to your desktop makes this even easier.

Recycle and Raise Funds


Don't throw away those empty printer cartridges or old cell phones!  Recycle them and help Camp Glisson raise funds.  Camp Glisson gets paid cash for every recyclable item returned through our recycling partners.  The items which can be recycled include:
  • Inkjet printer cartridges
  • Cell phones
Most inkjet printer cartridges and cell phones qualify for recycling.  The shipping process for these items is very easy.  We can provide you with pre-addressed, postage-paid labels for shipping.  You simply find a box large or small enough to hold the items to be recycled, seal up the box and affix the shipping label to it.  Then drop it off at a FedEx shipping location near your home or office, such as FedEx Office (formerly known as FedEx Kinko's).  There is no cost to you!

We can also provide you with a collection box for your church, place of business or neighborhood.  The collection box doubles as a FedEx postage-paid shipping box.  You can encourage your church members, neighbors, friends and co-workers to bring you their items.  Ask your pastor if you can place a notice in your church bulletin or newsletter encouraging members to donate their items on behalf of Glisson.

By recycling these items for Glisson, you are not only helping us raise much-needed funds, you are also having a positive impact on our environment by keeping them out of our landfills.

NOTE: Although we do have the capability of recycling the bulkier laserjet printer cartridges, many of these models are not recyclable and the shipping process for these items is more convoluted.  If you have access to a large quantity of empty laserjets, contact us to help determine the feasibility of recycling.
