Wisconsin Gives Back is currently running its 2012 Wisconsin Calendar sales campaign to raise money for a long list of schools and nonprofits in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin.
"This is an opportunity for the general public to have a hand in supporting these schools and nonprofits by simply purchasing a calendar. We give $9 from each $15 calendar to the participating group chosen by each purchaser," executive director Jake Knox said via email.
Knox also says $9 is "literally the whole profit of each sale," so your money will work effectively. Of course, don’t hold back and feel free to donate directly to these many groups, too.
This is a first year program for Wisconsin Gives Back, so check it out and help an organization this Thanksgiving week. It’s easy. Just click here, pick your charity and enter your payment information. You’ll feel good, and get a calendar in return.
