Subject: Support Crispus Attucks Park for *FREE* just by shopping online!
Ho
ho ho to all of you lazy, yet well-intentioned shopaholics, who love both (1)
inputting your credit card on the web, and (2) enjoying the wonders of the
hidden community Park
at Crispus Attucks in Bloomingdale.
Let
me ask you: Do you love the convenience of shopping online? The seemingly
infinite selection and low prices that Amazon offers you? The thrill of
awaiting whether the U(S)PS person accidentally delivered your Amazon package
to a different address (>25% likely), and then scouring the neighborhood for
your missing delivery with a flashlight? Or do you simply cherish the
anguish of your Metro ride home from work, while knowing full-well (maybe from
your MPD-sponsored Nest camera whose wifi connection, for once!, happened to
work this afternoon) that your package was actually delivered to your
front stoop this time around -- but worrying to death that a Christmas porch
pirate might get to it before you get off this overcrowded red line train and
race home?!
Then
I have a great proposal for you this season (and for all of 2020 and beyond):
Shop on http://SMILE.amazon.com and select “Crispus Attucks
Development Corporation” as your favorite charity.
If
you are unfamiliar with AmazonSmile (I was, too, until this year), it’s
simple: Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchases to the charity of your
choice, paid out of ITS OWN POCKET.
At
no cost to you. No skin off your back. Simple.
Free. For a good cause. Jeff Bezos money, going straight to
the lovely Crispus Attucks Park (whose upkeep is reliant on donations)...
So,
head on over to http://smile.amazon.com, choose Crispus Attucks
Development Corp. as the recipient 501(c)(3) charity, and... shop away,
dear digital Consumer!
PS:
If you're on a mobile device, this will not work on the Amazon
app. You must use a web browser and replace the "WWW." with
"Smile." Unfortunately, Amazon hasn't incorporated that option
into its app yet, which remains commercial-only, with all of your money going
straight to Jeffy B...
