After many months of efforts, we are proud to report that an article about blocal fundraising is featured in the Jacksonville Oregon local paper.  The article was mostly written by Hillary Brown, Green Benefits excellent summer intern currently back at USC.  The press arrangements were made by our blocal champion in Southern Oregon, Christin Sherbourne of Jacksonville Oregon. 

The article covers the Green Benefits -  www.blocalnetwork.com fundraising program with Jacksonville Elementary PTO, where Christin has secured more than 6 participating local business to offer coupons to the community through blocal.  

The article appears in an edition dedicated to the importance of shopping local and local commerce in general.  We are encouraged hope to see more articles about the importance of local shopping and giving back to the local community.  This article is a perfect example of our commitment to making great things happen in local communities around the country.  And most importantly we are going to be making a positive impact in the fundraising being done in Jacksonville and many more communities as we continue to grow.

We made the news!  Or to be more specific, we were mentioned in a magazine this Month.  We are excited to post that Kiwi Magazine recognized Green Benefits as a one of the, “10 great, green school fundraisers”  in their community honor roll.  We will link to the article once it is available online, but for now here is a couple of screen clippings / shots of the magazine and article.  Be sure to pick-up the May edition while it’s still available.
