Two Ways to Help Charleston Moves

We've started two initiatives that will help us raise money.

The first is our new online store, with our excellent Charleston Moves "propeller-head-person" logo on a great variety of goodies.
So, if you support us, do it TWO ways, buy displaying your support on articles you buy, and simply by BUYING. A substantial portion of your purchase price goes to Charleston Moves.

Our friend Brian Graham, a grad student at Clemson writing a bicycle/pedestrian master plan for the City of Charleston as his Masters thesis, writes about his experience with Palmetto BizBuzz:
Palmetto BizBuzz was so easy to use. Within just over 30 minutes I was registered and had quickly reviewed over 25 local businesses. I'd recommend it to any supporter of Charleston Moves as a very quick and easy way to support the organization. In about a half-hour I raised $25 for Charleston Moves.

Here's another way for you to support our efforts, and it won’t cost you anything!

We’re partnering with PalmettoBizBuzz.com (www.palmettobizbuzz.com) to participate in their “Give Back” program. PalmettoBizBuzz is a website where South Carolina consumers can write reviews of local companies. Other consumers read these reviews when they’re searching for a business or professional in their community.

During the “Give Back” program, PalmettoBizBuzz will donate $1.00 to Charleston Moves every time you write an approved review of a local business. When you submits your review, be careful to choose Charleston Moves as the charity to receive the $1.00 donation!

Each individual consumer can earn up to $25.00 in donations for their favorite charity. We appreciate your past generosity, and we hope you’ll take advantage of the “Give Back” program to further support our efforts.

The program runs from June 13 to July 30, 2008. Reviews must be written during that period to be eligible for the Give Back program. Reviews of national chains, such as Target or Starbucks, will not earn donations since the “Give Back” program is designed to generate reviews of local service businesses and professionals. If you want ideas of businesses to review, click on the “Find a local…” drop-down box in the “Popular Searches” section of PalmettoBizBuzz’s homepage. To encourage feedback on a wide range of businesses, each consumer can review no more than two restaurants or bars as part of their 25 reviews eligible for “Give Back” donations. Full details on the program can be found at www.palmettobizbuzz.com/giveback.
