Pittsburgh, PA | April 22, 2008
GiftCards.com is pleased to announce a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation. This year during Earth Week, April 22nd through April 25th, GiftCards.com will be donating one dollar to the Arbor Day Foundation for every consumer Visa gift card sold. "We are thrilled to help such a wonderful organization like the Arbor Day Foundation and look forward to sending them a large donation at the end of Earth Week. We have also asked our customers to think about making an additional donation to this great organization," commented president of GiftCards.com, Jeff Lininger.
Earth Day is April 22nd and National Arbor Day is April 25th. Celebrating Earth Week is important on all levels and GiftCards.com wants to share its feelings about the Earth by helping the Arbor Day Foundation. The Arbor Day Foundation is a nonprofit conservation and education organization of nearly one million members. Its mission is to inspire people to plant, nurture and celebrate trees. Its vast number of programs which include conferences, seminars, youth education, and even an Arbor Day Farm that welcomes visitors on a daily basis are just some of the profound initiatives the Arbor Day Foundation has created to continue the education surrounding trees.
"We appreciate the support from GiftCards.com," said Kevin Sander, director of corporate partnerships with the Arbor Day Foundation. "Their contribution will assist with tree-planting initiatives nationwide, and will make a real impact on the environment."
GiftCards.com wants to encourage everyone to shop online during Earth Week and help donate to the Arbor Day Foundation. For every consumer order placed starting on April 22nd through April 25th one dollar from every gift card will be donated. Along with this, GiftCards.com hopes that many will take the extra step to make an additional donation to the Arbor Day Foundation.
