When we started Alex's Coupons in October 2001, it was always with the hope to make a difference in the pediatric cancer world through education and charitable donations to pediatric cancer organizations.

While educating people and providing information to families of newly diagnosed children happened immediately, getting a donation schedule in place, has taken a bit longer. We are pleased to announce that beginning this month and continuing on the first of every month, Alex's Coupons will make a contribution to a pediatric cancer charity. In addition to making the donation, we will introduce you to the charity and tell you how they directly helped our family when we were in the midst of Alex's battle with leukemia. We encourage you to take some time to read about each charity and see what wonderful work they are doing every day to help make the lives of families dealing with cancer treatment just a little easier. We will also provide you with a link to the charities website donation page and would like to ask you to go and make a donation of $1.00. That's it, just $1.00.

Some of you are asking why such a small amount... Every day we have over 7,000 visitors to Alex's Coupons. Just think for a minute if everyone who visited every day donated a dollar. That's $210,000 a month! What a difference that could make! So many of these charities saw a huge drop off in donations after September 11th, then with the unending string of natural disasters they have been unable to get back to their pre-September 11th level of donations. Therefore, they have had to cut back drastically on what they can do for families. We would like to try to do our part to help alleviate this problem. So, take just one of the many dollars that Alex's Coupons is helping you save and pass it on to a very deserving charity!

December's charity is Children's Cancer Lifeline. Alex's Coupons has made a $1,000.00 donation to this amazing organization. Children's Cancer Lifeline helped us pay our mortgage when we were struggling to keep afloat while Alex when through all her treatments.

Children's Cancer Lifeline was founded in August 2001 to address a significant need for childhood cancer family’s financially struggling during and after treatment. In the past 4 years with fundraising, sponsorships, corporate donations and private donation they have raised over $450,000.00 to help support local childhood cancer families through their programs.

Please take a moment to visit the Children's Cancer Lifeline website and make a donation. Remember we can make a huge difference with everyone giving just $1.00/day!

P.S.: A donation of $1000 was also made to the Writing Program at Alex's school.
