Shop on iGive.com & CCFA-NJ Receives Donations!

We'd like to tell you about a terrific way to shop and make money for CCFA-NJ at the same time!  We are members of i-Give.com, an online shopping service.  There are over 600 stores on this website.  Each time you shop at one of these stores through the i-Give website, a percentage of the sale – up to 16% - is donated to us.  It's so simple - here's how it works:

Log onto www.iGive.com.  Register as a member – this is free.  Search for our "cause" – Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America – Greater NJ – then browse through the Directory of Stores to start shopping.  Some of the most popular stores are participants, including Target, EBay, Omaha Steaks, Land's End, Dean & DeLuca, Gap, Brooks Brothers, Disney, Fortunoff, and Pottery Barn; travel sites such Priceline, Delta, and Orbitz, and Marriott also are included. 

Remember - the only way CCFA-NJ will receive a donation is if you order through the
 i-Give website and choose Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America – Greater NJ, as your cause.  If you place your order directly through the store's website we will not receive the donation.
