You’ve heard us talk about how easy it is to support KiDs Beach Club® through AmazonSmile and several of you have signed up this year.

In fact, in 2018, Amazon has already sent us checks from your purchases totaling $471.14 which amounts to nearly two cases of Bibles that go to children in public elementary schools.

“What a treat it is to receive a check from Amazon and the joy it brings to know that folks are thinking of KBC when they make their purchases,” KBC Finance Director Angie Hughes said. “The beauty of this program is that when our donors shop Amazon for items they regularly purchase, they don’t have to pay even a penny more to contribute to the meaningful work of KiDs Beach Club®.”

When you use AmazonSmile to make your purchase, Amazon automatically donates 0.5 percent of your purchase to KiDs Beach Club® at no additional cost to you. The company says that 10 of millions of products on their site are eligible for AmazonSmile donations without any higher prices being passed on to the consumer.

If you haven’t had a chance to sign up yet, it only takes a minute. You can start by logging onto smile.amazon.com and login with your regular Amazon account.

Then select KiDs Beach Club® as your charity and start shopping. It’s as easy as that. The hardest part is remembering to do your shopping on smile.amazon.com instead of the regular website, amazon.com but that’s what bookmarks are for!

So, when you’re doing your Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas shopping this year, please shop AmazonSmile and support KiDs Beach Club®!
