Fundraising

Shoot for the Moon!

Our Issaquah Women's Foundation is again raising dollars for our annual fund. This year's "Shoot for the Moon" campaign is currently under way. All monies raised will be used to support the invaluable work of three local organizations as they strive to help as many of our neighbors in need as possible:

• Issaquah Community Services
• Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank school break food programs
• Issaquah Parks & Recreation summer camp scholarships

For more information on the "Shoot for the Moon" campaign, contact Debby Bader through the IWC at issaquahwomensclub@gmail.com or see your IWC membership handbook to contact Debby directly.

WELCOME TO AMAZONSMILE!

ANOTHER WAY TO SUPPORT THE IWF - JUST BY SHOPPING AT AMAZON!

What is AmazonSmile?

The Issaquah Women's Foundation periodically receives a donation from the AmazonSmile Foundation as a result of the AmazonSmile program.

We know you'd like to help support the IWF and shopping on AmazonSmile is a super easy way to do so.  Here's how:

• Open Amazon.com
• If you're already signed in:

1. In the upper right hand corner of the home page, click the down arrow next to "Accounts & Lists"
2. Go to the last item under "Your Account" and Sign Out

• Go to http://smile.amazon.com/ch/03-0598420
• Sign back in using your regular Amazon login and password
• Bookmark the page for easy access in the future
• Shop as you always have and AmazonSmile will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to the IWF

BROWN BEAR CAR WASH TICKETS

Brown Bear car wash tickets are available at our monthly meetings while supply lasts.  Tickets are $9.00 per ticket and can be purchased from Sharon Miller or Betty Shapiro. They make great gifts and are a perfect way to say thank you!

The club’s proceeds from this effort go directly to the Issaquah Women's Foundation. For each ticket you purchase, the IWF earns $7.50.
