Support JumpStart through American Eagle

Karen sent this along and since she said to "forward the following message to inform and rally your colleagues, friends, and family to become involved in the American Eagle Outfitters Great Gifts program, which directly supports Jumpstart - and encourage them to forward it to their friends and family as well," I figured I might as well blog it. They also have a new website at www.jstart.org (though Karen's profile page seems to be blank still).
 

Good Friends. Good Times. Great Gifts.
 
Generosity never goes out of style! Jumpstart is pleased to announce the American Eagle Outfitters Good Friends. Good Times. Great Gifts. campaign, which aims to promote volunteerism through action rather than words.
 
In AE stores across the country, customers are being encouraged to make a cash donation to one of AE's partner charities, Jumpstart or YMCA National Safe Place. In return for a $1 donation, customers will receive an AE bracelet as a thank you.
 
Jumpstart will receive 100 percent of every donation made to Jumpstart through AE! Customers can choose between four different bracelet colors* and show off their support for Jumpstart and their local community.
 
For more information about the Great Gifts campaign - including details about campaign spokesperson, actress Rachel Leigh Cook, and recent survey findings regarding youth volunteerism - please visit www.jstart.org. More information can also be found at www.ae.com. We encourage you to visit an AE store near you to get involved in this campaign. And please join us in thanking AE employees for supporting Jumpstart.
