Be a Gift Card Re-Gifter this Holiday Season and Help Fans Across America® Provide Support to Families with Seriously Ill Children

December 10, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
Based on a recent survey from Consumer Reports, 27% of adults surveyed who received a gift card during last year's holiday season still had not used it almost a year later. Rather than sticking that gift card in your purse, wallet or in a drawer to be forgotten, choose to be a gift card re-gifter and help the Fans Across America® Charitable Foundation provide support to families with seriously ill children.

Fans Across America, a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organization, helps families with seriously ill children better face the financial burden that comes with a life-threatening diagnosis. So whether it's a gift card you'll never use or one that has a small balance remaining, Fans Across America can use these cards to provide additional assistance to these families during the most difficult times. And as an added benefit, the re-gifter receives an IRS tax-deduction based on the value of the gift card.

"There are so many families with seriously ill children in need of help just in the Phoenix market. By becoming a gift card re-gifter, Fans Across America will have access to an additional resource to provide even greater assistance to these families," said Founder Bruce Petillo.

To be a gift card re-gifter, please mail the card along with your name and email address to the following address:

Fans Across America Charitable Foundation
23844 S. Power Rd., Suite 102-188
Queen Creek, AZ 85242

Once the gift card has been received and logged for tracking purposes, Fans Across America will email you a receipt for your tax-deductible contribution. When possible, the Foundation will also notify you via email when the card has been distributed to a family in need.
