FUNDRAISING
AMAZON SMILE
DO YOU SHOP ON AMAZON?
Amazon is giving free money to Jefferson!

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Amazon Smile is a program through Amazon where they donate 0.5% of the purchase price of all items to the charity of your choice: Jefferson PTA.

Shopping at Amazon Smile is identical to shopping at Amazon with all the same items, so you use your existing Amazon account, and, if you are a Prime Member, your purchases are eligible for Prime just like before. Sound easy? It is!

To shop, go to http://smile.amazon.com/ch/95-6204301 and select Jefferson PTA as your chosen charity. After that, remember to visit smile.amazon.com to shop instead of amazon.com.
