July 31, 2006, GIG HARBOR, WA – Alex’s Coupons, (http://www.alexscoupons.com)
a website devoted to providing the latest deals and coupons to
consumers, recently donated one thousand dollars to Camp
Side-by-Side, a week-long camp experience designed to serve the
needs of families that have a child with cancer.
"We'd like thank Alex's Coupons for their generous gift of $1000
to Camp Side-by-Side,” said Jackie Williams, Family Support
Program Coordinator, Side-by-Side. “Their gift will help us give
20 Washington families who have a child with cancer the chance to
experience a cost-free, fun, and relaxing vacation for the whole

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.
