GirlsAskGuys and RAVEN partner up!

girlsaskguys — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:47:50 +0000

Last year, GirlsAskGuys member A_Guy suggested a terrific idea – adding a charity donation as an option to redeem Xper Points! We took his suggestion and put it to work, adding an option to redeem Xper points to make a donation to charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. The result: an overwhelming success. GirlsAskGuys members redeemed enough points to meet our goal of $1000 for charity: water to fund a drilling rig in northern Ethiopia.

GirlsAskGuys has chosen our 2nd charity for this initiative: RAVEN, a non-profit organization dedicated to domestic violence intervention and prevention. RAVEN is recognized nationally as a key part of the movement to stop the cycle of violence in our families and communities.

For 3000 Xper points, GirlsAskGuys will make a donation to RAVEN in the amount of $15, noting your user name. For 6000 Xper points, GirlsAskGuys will make a donation to RAVEN in the amount of $30, noting your user name. These dollars will go further their mission of ending violence against women and girls. To redeem Xper Points for a donation, simply Contact Us. To make a donation directly to RAVEN, visit the RAVEN Donation Page.

We are thrilled to offer this option to GirlsAskGuys members, and are honored to work with RAVEN!
