Site finds deals, raises money for charity
There are many couponing sites to choose from in cyberspace, so why not check out one that raises money for a good cause?
Alex’s Coupons, which has been around since 2001, was founded by Todd Martini. Martini was trying to raise money for his daughter, Alexandra, who had been diagnosed with leukemia in 1998.
The site offers coupons and deals to more than 1,200 stores, and is easy to navigate. You can browse by store or by category. MSN Money even named it one of the 100 most useful sites on the Internet.
“Early on I decided that Alex’s Coupons would also focus on raising childhood cancer awareness and raising money for childhood cancer charities,” Martini said.
In the last four years, they have donated more than $23,000 to childhood cancer charities, including more than $13,000 to Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation of Washington.
Alexandra is now 11 years old and doing better, although it has been a long road for the entire family. You can read more about their journey on the Alex’s Coupons site.
