This Week Only – GettingGives 100% Campaign

Since the introduction of companies like Groupon and LivingSocial, getting a half-price deal only takes a click. Chances are – most of you have made a purchase off one of these “daily deal” sites over the past few months. But now, getting your daily deal just got SO much better. Your purchase will benefit CURE Childhood Cancer.

We ask all of you to please visit GettingGives and sign up for an account today. GettingGives is a site that hosts all of the available daily deals in major cities across the nation – including Atlanta. All of your favorite companies (Groupon, LivingSocial, Dealster, Signpost, KGB Deals, etc.) are all available to purchase through GettingGives. You get the exact same deal as when you purchase directly through the original daily deal site and the deal does not cost you anything extra. But for every deal purchased through GettingGives, a donation will be made to your charity of choice.

So how does this work? The daily deal sites pay GettingGives a percentage of each deal that is purchased through the site. On average, GettingGives is paid 10%. GettingGives then turns around and donates half of their payment to the organization that you have selected as your charity of choice – CURE. That means on average, CURE will receive 5% of the cost of each deal you purchase.

While this may not seem like a huge number, as this program grows it has the potential to benefit CURE immensely. Not only does it spread awareness for our organization, but it such a simple way for you to donate to CURE through a purchase you were already planning on making. Imagine if each of the hundreds – or thousands – of people who purchase a LivingSocial deal purchased it through GettingGives? The donations could really make a difference in funding childhood cancer research.

This week only (Feb 7 – Feb 14) GettingGives is hosting a 100% campaign for CURE! That means for each purchase you make through GettingGives, 100% of the money they are paid from the daily deal site will be donated directly to CURE.

Please visit GettingGives, register for an account, select CURE Childhood Cancer as your charity of choice, and get ready to purchase some amazing deals! Don’t forget to share this site with all of your friends – this is an easy way for them to make a donation to the organization so close to your heart.

Thank you for your support!

Super Rainmaking: 10 Secrets To Raising the Bar In Your Law Practice

Start this New Decade with a New Attitude about Building your Business!

Lawyers went to law school to learn how to practice law – and they weren’t trained to make rain, or bring in the business. That’s the premise that led John Yates, Chair of the Technology Practice at Morris, Manning & Martin, LLP and Robin Hensley, President of Atlanta executive coaching firm Raising the Bar, to create their just-published eBook, Super Rainmaking: 10 Secrets To Raising the Bar In Your Law Practice.

“As we enter a new decade, a goal of every lawyer should be to improve business generation and rainmaking skills,” explains Yates, who is well-known for his ability in bring in new business. “Based on my three decades of experience in building a legal practice and the current challenges facing law firms, I know that attorneys at all career stages need a tactical plan and process for attracting and retaining new business,” he adds. “Robin Hensley coaches lawyers every day on the fine art of rainmaking, so we have some tips that have rendered successful results for many attorneys.”

The eBook, Super Rainmaking: 10 Secrets To Raising the Bar In Your Law Practice, is available for $29.95. It contains business development strategies that can be applied by any business professional. The eBook can be ordered through http://www.raisingthebar.com/info/bookstore.html.

About the eBook:

John Yates presents his practical pointers for lawyers on how to target, find and engage new clients. You will find that there is something you can do right now to enhance your own business development results.

Robin Hensley adds a coaching tip at the end of each chapter, with a practical action step you can take immediately to hit your targets more effectively.

Yates and Hensley are donating the profits from the eBook sales of Super Rainmaking: 10 Secrets To Raising the Bar In Your Law Practice to support CURE Childhood Cancer.

CURE acts on behalf of children and families to conquer childhood cancer through research, education and critical support of patients and their families. Yates and his wife have been supporters for decades, and Hensley has joined them in this effort.

“We are pleased to offer this opportunity to start the decade with new business strategies and to support CURE Childhood Cancer,” Hensley affirms. “This is a new way to practice law and the art of rainmaking while helping our children and the community.”

Elves From Catie

catieheart2-2For Jenny and Tré Wilkins, Christmas can be especially difficult. They lost their beautiful four-year-old daughter, Catie, nearly three years ago to cancer. If there is a glimmer of light in the midst of such loss, however, the Wilkins credit a mischievous elf for providing hope and honoring Catie’s legacy.

While Catie battled the ravages of cancer treatment during the holiday season, she took solace in the make-believe world of Santa’s elves. She was given a special stuffed elf from the company Host an Elf, and that beloved elf was “responsible” for all kinds of mischievous acts, such as covering the kitchen in flour, pulling clothes out of Catie’s dresser drawer, and even spending a night in the freezer because he was homesick for the North Pole.

“Catie’s elf provided a way for her to escape the reality of cancer and enjoy the magic of the holidays,” explains Jenny Wilkins. “We had so much fun with that elf. Every day, Catie woke up eager to find out what her ‘silly elf’ had done while she slept.”

But the whimsical fantasy of holiday elves was inexplicably replaced with the harshest of realities when Catie lost her courageous battle just weeks after Christmas.

Desperate to get through the first Christmas without Catie, her mom searched stores and the Internet for affordable elves to give to some of Catie’s friends who were still battling cancer. When she found the company which made Catie’s elf, she called, asking if they would consider giving her a bulk discount. After hearing Catie’s story, the owners of Host an Elf were so moved, the company decided to donate as many elves as the Wilkins needed – and then, they decided to take it a step further. The owners worked with Jenny to create a program called “Elves from Catie” which honors Catie by allowing others to purchase an elf for a child with cancer, with 30 percent of the proceeds going to CURE Childhood Cancer earmarked for pediatric cancer research.

“Far too many children will be spending the holidays in children’s hospitals receiving cancer treatment, and ‘Elves from Catie’ is a powerful way to share a special gift with them and make a significant contribution to fund a cure for childhood cancer,” says Kristin Connor, Executive Director of CURE Childhood Cancer.

For more information or to donate an elf to a child with cancer, visit www.elvesfromcatie.com.
