Here is a very important request from our friend Jan Brown, founder of the Domestic Abuse Hotline for Men and Women. Take a moment to check it out and sign up. It's easy to help!


Dear Supporters and Friends of DAHMW,

Please sign up with iGive.com (NO purchase necessary) and pass this on to everyone you know!
I received a note from iGive.com (below) on
Date: Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 10:13 AM

In a nutshell for every person that signs up to iGive.com and does just 
one web search on their site between now and noon Thursday, they will give Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women a dollar.  
To sign up use this link: http://www.igive.com/welcome/warm_reg_promo.cfm?c=18234
Please don't forget to do one web search on their site!  
You all know that DAHMW is an all volunteer run agency that works with less than $15,000.00 a year in donations so $5,000.00 can go a long way with us to help victims and bring awareness to the issues.   

Hi Jan Brown,

We know that many causes have had a hard year, so we'd like to try 
something new to help Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women that requires your  participation, but is free and definitely easy.

iGive.com is going to attempt to donate $5,000 in just 24 hours to Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women and other causes.
  
For each person who joins iGive using the special link below and does just one web search on our site between now and noon Thursday, we'll give Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women a dollar.  

5,000 new members, $5,000.  No purchase necessary.  

Of course, if they search more (or buy something) they'll earn even more 
money for Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women.
Right now, we're donating $.02 per search and a bonus $5 for that first 
purchase plus the usual percentage.

Here's where you come in.  The only way Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women will get new supporters and that free $1 (or more) 
is if you invite them.  Send your friends, family, and colleagues the 
following link in an e-mail, tweet it, chirp it, do a 
Facebook posting, put up posters, shout from mountain tops (you know the drill) and let them know you think Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women is pretty cool and deserves their support, especially since it's free!  You can even just forward 
this e-mail.

This is the link:
    http://www.igive.com/welcome/warm_reg_promo.cfm?c=18234
    
We're really proud of our search capability, powered by Yahoo!  We've made tons of improvements over the past four months, so we want lots of people to try it out and put it to the test.  If they keep on searching or 
shopping after testing us out, so much the better for Domestic Abuse 
Helpline for Men and Women and iGive.com.

The details:
     - Offer active between now and 11:59 a.m., December 17, 2009 (Chicago 
time).
     - New members only (never have been an iGive member previously).  All 
the normal rules of membership, searching, and
        purchasing apply, our site has the details.
     - Once we've given away $5,000, the offer ends.

That's it.  Don't forget to try our search yourself 
(http://isearch.igive.com).  You may need to login or register first 
(personally, as an iGive member).  We sent you this e-mail because you're in our records as the cause contact, not as a member personally.

From our families to yours, we hope you have a great holiday season.


Yours,

Robert N. Grosshandler
Founder
