It’s Ms. Modern, here, and I wondered if any of you could do me a favor. I do a lot of fundraising for pediatric cancer and one of “my” cancer moms would like her own webpage. I am able to pay for the domain, etc, but am TOTALLY not talented when it comes to creating site banners. I’m looking for someone who would be willing to DONATE a banner to this project. Perhaps you are an artist, or you have a friend who is. If you can help out, please …

Yep, you heard me right. I, Ms. Modern, am giving away a $50 Amazon e-gift card this month to 1 lucky Ms. Modern reader!

In order for my charity to get more exposed and to get more donations for these AMAZING kids, I figured I’d give away one of my personal $50 Amazon gift cards to one …

It seems that today almost everyone “has” a charity: Easter Seals. Jerry’s Kids. Juvenile Diabetes. March of Dimes. Susan G Komen or anything to do with Breast Cancer. The American Cancer Society (ACS).
