American Girl Gives Back With Shine On Now

I am thrilled to be among a group of amazing bloggers who are helping American Girl with their Shine on Now initiative. From now until July 31st, girls and their parents can go to shineonnow.com and put their collective efforts to powerful use. Visitors can contribute up to 100 free stars each day to help American Girl reach its goal of collecting one million stars by the end of the program. If the target is reached, American Girl will donate its maximum gift of $1 million dollars in clothes, books, dolls, and money to four designated charities – Kids In Distressed Situations, National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions, National Wildlife Federation, and Save the Children.

YOU CAN HELP! It’s SO EASY! ALL you have to do to have a star donated is go to the site, fill in your child’s name and a parent’s email address, and click donate. You don’t even have to wait to get a confirmation email!  You’ll see a graphic pop up with a star and a star outline, you just click the star and drag it into the outline and your star is donated!  I checked the Shine on Now website, and they are at $547,442.   We can help them get to $1 Million, RIGHT??  Please, go to the site and click to donate a star. Then, while you are watching TV or surfing the web or blogging or whatever,  go back and click the donate button again, drag the star into the outline, and another star is donated. You can do this 100 times every day!

Every star donated equals one dollar donated to four very deserving charities and all you have to do is type and click!

The Shine on Now site also gives girls the chance to become official American Girl Ambassadors. Click the link to get:
* An official American Girl Ambassador Certificate
* A sign-up sheet to help you inspire others to get involved
* Fund-raising tips to help you make a difference at home, in your community, and even throughout the world!

There’s also a link to American Girl’s new virtual world, Innerstar University.  Follow American Girl’s Shine on Now on Twitter and Facebook for reminders to donate stars each day.  And coming up tomorrow, I’ll be starting a giveaway to give one lucky Table for Five reader their own American Girl Doll!
