Raise money for Midtown when you shop and surf

There are a number of ways you can help raise money for Midtown simply by shopping and surfing the web.

Surfing

GoodSearch uses the Yahoo! search engine, but adds a twist. You first select a charity of your choice, like The Midtown Academy. Then, GoodSearch will donate money to the school based on the number of searches run on their site every month. Their website provides more details and they offer a toolbar for your browser to help you remember to use it.

Shopping

The Midtown Academy is once again participating in the Boxtops 4 Education program. You can help Midtown by sending in your Boxtops4Education coupons, shopping in their online marketplace or buying a book from their bookclub. They also have coupons that you can download and print to save money on some of the Boxtops products.

eScrip is another service that raises money for The Midtown Academy. Among other things, if you register your Safeway club card with eScrip, they will donate a percentage of your purchases to Midtown. If you shop at their online mall (which includes stores like Barnes and Nobel, Lands End and Target) or register your credit cards with them, they will donate a percentage of purchases from their affiliated merchants to Midtown as well.

If you are buying items with BoxTop coupons, shopping at stores affiliated with the BoxTops program or Escrip or searching the Internet anyway, please take a moment to consider the above programs as a way to help Midtown raise money.
