Fundraising Green: Healthy Kids, Healthy Homes, Healthy Planet

Our first big promotion is starting. One of our non-profit partners, Long Beach CA based Environmental Consumer Organization, or ECO for short, funds and administers a brand new scholarship fund - the ecoScholarship Fund. ECO's target of raising $100,000 dollars by June of 2008 will be attained by using our eco-friendly, zero-administration fundriaser - the myGreenspark Redemption Book Fundraiser. You can go to the myGreenSpark.com website right now to purchase the first ever green coupon book for Southern California and you'll be supporting a great cause.

The ecoScholarship fund will be used to help High School seniors and undergrad College students who aspire to an Environmental career, get off to a good start. The first recipients of the scholarship will be from the Southern California area. Applications will be accepted starting in January until May of 2008. The first ecoScholarships will be given out in June of 2008.

ECO will be opening its scholarship application process in January, but sooner than that, they will be kicking off their "Green Teens" ecoScholarship contest. Teens and adults can play in an effort to raise the first $100,000 for the ecoScholarship Fund. Participants will promote the myGreenSpark fundraiser to family and friends while taking educational quizzes to earn points while learning about ways they can help the environment through their consumer habits. Participants that sell a lot of books and do good on the quizzes will have more chance to win prizes like an ecoScholarship, a new bike, the iPod Touch(TM) or extreme sports and camping equipment. And if ECO hits its goal of raising $100,000 for the fund by June of 2008, the top participant will win a Grand Prize of $10,000 to use for anything they want - hopefully to Go Green!

The Environmental Consumer Organization dedicated to creating Green Consumers through education and marketing. By providing resources for "Going Green" to consumers through special membership-based product discounts on Green and Healthy products and services that people need to start using to actually go green, ECO will create Green and Ethical Consumers in a fun and interesting way. We know that until a major shift towards "Green" happens at the consumers level, companies will keep doing what they do - market conspicuous consumption to the masses to increase their bottom line.

The ecoScholarship Fund is where most of the money goes that we collect from supporters. Our goal is to provide $100,000 in scholarships in 2008 and $1,000,000 by 2010! Besides creating Green Consumers to help in the fight for environment today, we are also heavily investing in our future by offering students an incentive to get on the path to a "Green" career.
