Leverage® Gives Back to McLaren with Local Fundraising Program
Leverage Inc. announced recently the “Leverage® Gift Card Fundraiser Program.” New partnerships have been established with ten local Port Huron and Greater Flint organizations to raise funds for individually selected charities. McLaren Regional Medical Center is proud to be one of them.
“Since the inception of our Leverage® consumer service, we have intended to use our technology to engage with and help local communities in their charitable giving efforts,” said Mark Roberts, CEO and co-founder of Leverage Inc. “Leverage® makes it quick and easy for consumers to purchase gift cards while simultaneously donating to charity, and we hope to soon extend the program beyond my home state to organizations nationwide.”
Charitable organizations’ websites will direct consumers to a personalized LeverageCard.com landing page where they can choose from a large selection of retail gift cards. Fifty percent of the net profits of gift card purchases made by their supporters through the site will go directly to the local or international charity of choice. The Leverage® program provides a very easy means of raising funds compared to traditional gift card fundraisers. Supporters can purchase gift cards from the comfort of their homes, rather than the organizations having to undergo the labor intensive process of gathering orders and payments and distributing the purchased cards.
“Through Leverage’s® Fundraising Program, we are able to simply and effectively fundraise for ‘A Little Change Makes a Big Difference’ fund,” said Roxanne Caine, director of the McLaren Foundation. “We envision this grassroots fundraiser to become an important part of our employee-driven campaign, which is designed to continuously improve the hospital for communities we serve.”
