FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Alex's Coupons Donates $1000.00
to Corporate Angel Network
GIG HARBOR, WA - February 1, 2006 — Alex's Coupons, (www.alexscoupons.com)
a website devoted to providing the latest deals and coupons to
consumers, has donated one thousand dollars to Corporate Angel
Network and selected them as their Featured Charity for February
2006.
Alex’s Coupons was launched by Todd & Andrea Martini in October
1999 to raise money for their daughter Alexandra's medical
treatment. Alex was diagnosed with Leukemia in November 1998 at the age of 10
months and underwent life saving Cord Blood Transplants in 1999
and 2003. Now that Alex has completed treatment, the Martinis have
instituted a charitable donation program using some of the
proceeds from Alex's Coupons. Each month the Martinis make a
donation of at least $1000 to a different cancer related charity.
"Alex's Coupons has grown from a small site providing a little bit
of extra income to one of the most successful coupon sites on the
Internet" said co-founder Todd Martini. "The success of
Alex's Coupons has obviously far exceeded our expectations and has
enabled us to realize a dream of ours, giving back to the
charities who supported us during Alex's treatment."
In addition to Alex’s Coupons, the Martinis are very involved in
activism and fundraising on behalf of several cancer related
charities,
including the National Childrens Cancer Society and Starlight
Starbright.
"Corporate Angel Network is supported entirely by contributions
from individuals, foundations and corporations” said CAN’s
Executive Director, Peter Fleiss. “Every dollar that’s donated
helps additional cancer patients receive the life extending
treatment they need. We would like to thank Alex's Coupons for
their generous donation and for choosing CAN as their featured
charity."
