There are many ways you can give to support the Foundation's Awareness Projects
Many companies have an annual Corporate Giving Campaign. It offers an easy way to donate through regular payroll dedictions. Ask your Human Resources Department about thier Corporate Giving Campaign. If they don't have one, encourage them to start one. The National Reye's Syndrome Foundation is a member of the Community Health Charities federation, the largest workplace giving campaign devoted to good health. If your employer participates in the Community Health Charities campaign, you can designate your contribution to the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation. Your workplace may participate in a United Way campaign. If so, you can designate your pledge to tbe National Reye's Syndrome Foundation through the United Way's Donor Choice Program. Just follow the instructions on your pledge card, or write in our name and address. Your Human Resources Department, or your local United Way agency will have more detailed information about giving a gift to us through a United Way Campaign. The most popular Planned Gifts to the NRSF include:
Many Social Networks on the Internet offer "Cause Donations" through Network For Good. The National Reye's Syndrome is listed as a Charity Choice through Network for Good. We do caution you, however, to do a little research before you donate through a Social Site on the Internet; you want to make sure:
If you are not sure about something you see, or are asked to donate toward on the Internet, please contact our office and we will let you know if it is "for real". You can contact us via email, or by phone at 800-233-7393 - 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST Monday through Friday. Direct Donations to the Foundation through our Gifting Site is always a safe and sure way to give. There are no extra fees removed from your donation, and 100% of what you give goes to our Awareness Programs. Become a Member of the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation, and Gift a Membership to a friend or loved one, and we will send you both a beautiful heart pin, membership cards, salicylate ingredient wallet cards, a special bookmark, a free subscription to our In The News bi-annual newsletter, and first alerts for upcoming NRSF projects and event tickets. We will also send your gift of membership with a beautiful card to whomever you designate. When a Gift of Membership is appropriate:
Corporations can choose the NRSF as their charity of choice, offering a yearly donation of dollars or supplies. Corporations can offer to match what their employees donate to the NRSF. Corporations can offer special "dress down days", or special luncheons or "at the water cooler days" where employees can pay a small fee that is then donated to the NRSF in honor of a special employee or significanat accomplishment. Special yearly Corporate Sponsorships are available at the Hero level ($5,000.00); Champion level ($1,000.00); the Guardian level ($500.00); Sentinel level ($100.00) Download the NRSF's custom made toolbar and make money for the NRSF by doing what you already do: Search the Web, and Shop On-line. Each time you search the Internet or shop online at one of the participating stores, a donation will be made to National Reyes Syndrome Foundation at no cost to you! GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50 percent of its sponsored search revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine. Because it's powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers — the users and the organizations do not spend a dime! GoodSearch has expanded to include GoodShop, an online shopping mall of world-class merchants like Amazon, ebay, JC Pennys, and hundreds more, dedicated to helping fund worthy causes across the country. Each purchase made via the GoodShop mall results in a donation to the user's designated charity or school – averaging approximately 3% of the sale, but going up to 20% or even more. Most stores also offer special coupons, and when they do, the tool bar actually lights up so you don't miss out on any great bargains! We hope you'll not only use GoodSearch as your main search engine from now on, we also hope you will tell your friends, family and co-workers so they, too, can start using GoodSearch to Champion Children via the programs here at the NRSF! 
Send us your old, or no longer used, cell phones! We have them recycled, cleaned up, and passed out to battered women and children in shelters. This is a tremendous way to help keep lithion batteries and such out of land fills, and at the same time, help women and children in need. We also have them sent overseas to our troops. It's a 3 for 1 deal. The NRSF gets dollars for recycling, you help the Foundation save children's lives, the environment, and others in dire need! Mail your cell phones and batteries (no attachments please) to: NRSF PO Box 829 Bryan OH 43506 The NRSF is going to compete for a $250,000.00 Grant in this competition.

Once we are notified that our submission has been accepted, winning the grant will depend on YOUR vote. We will need you to vote for our project every day for 30 days. The project that recieves the most votes wins the grant. If you would like to help us win this grant, please send us your email address by clicking the link below, and we will notify you of when voting for our grant will begin, and send you a link to click so you can vote for "Teach Tweens and Teens the Dangers of Self-Medicating". We want to use the Grant to create an engaging and informative website where Tweens and Teens can learn, and where parents, school nurses, administrators and health professionals can download informative materials about medications to support the education of our young people. 36 years ago, with help from concerned others just like you, we got the word out across this country that Kids and Aspirin Products Don't Mix, and with your help, once again we can put a message out there that will save young lives. View our Teach Tweens and Teens YouTube video for more information. Feel free to hold your own Fundraiser for the NRSF. Bowl-A-Thons, Walk-A-Thons - any A-Thon works well and can be a lot of fun. Golf Outings can turn into fundraisers for the Foundation. One little boy and his friend set up a lemonade stand and sent the proceeds to the NRSF. Rummage Sales, Bake Sales, 50/50 Raffles at local events are all ways to support the Awareness Projects at the NRSF.
