Cross-posted at The LLS Blog

We are thrilled to announce that LLS is one of six charities named by
Gap Inc. to receive donations from its spring Give & Get program
which runs March 12-15, 2009 in the United States and Canada. The way
it works is that the Give & Get program provides you with a
downloadable 30% discount coupon which is good in any of Gap Inc.’s
stores which include Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic. LLS will
receive 5% of the net sales on any purchases made with the LLS-coded
Give & Get coupon. Mark your calendars to support us, download the coupon and grab some great deals.


Remember the new LLS and TNT-branded VISA cards we told you about last week? (To order your card visit CardPartner.com.)
We don’t mind if you combine both of these options into one – use your
LLS-branded VISA credit card and your Give & Get coupon at the same
time, and be sure to tell your friends about these deals, too.


Learn more about other ways you can show your support to LLS by visiting our How to Help section on www.LLS.org.
