Search Me

Use Good Search! Why? Because instead of wasting your time on the internet searching for the Meg White Sex Tape on your usual search engine, you can help out good causes like The Korean Community Center of East Bay (which my cousin is a board member of) without any extra effort! Use the www.goodsearch.com search engine just like google or yahoo and they will donate money directly to the cause of your choice ( my choice is obvious).

From The KCCEB (Just for clarity, CJ Lee is not my cousin, but this was forwarded on to me from her):

Hi Everyone,

My name is CJ Lee and I am the Youth Program Coordinator for the Korean Community Center of the East Bay. The Youth Program, the Korea American Youth Alliance has been a vital resource for youth in the Korean community for over 10 years. However, due to some unfortunate cuts, our Youth Program is in need of your help! KCCEB has just been registered on GoodSearch.com!  All you have to do to support KCCEB is use www.goodsearch.com .It is like Yahoo or Google, you search what you want. So instead of using yahoo or google the next time you need to do a search on the internet, use www.goodsearch.com and every search earns KCCEB money.

GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates ad revenue, about a penny per search, to the charity its users designate.  Use it just like any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get the same great results.

Just go to www.goodsearch.com and type in  KCCEB as the organization you want to support.

One more exciting thing: You can start donating directly to KCCEB with all of your online purchases at http://www.goodsearch.com/goodshopping.aspx at participating stores like the Apple Store, Amazon.com, Nordstrom's, Target, Gap, Wal-mart, many more.

Just designate KCCEB as the organization you want to support and start shopping for things you already wanted to get!!

GoodSearch is the search engine with a unique social mission of re-directing advertising revenue to the charity or school of the user's choice. We've partnered with Yahoo! to provide competitive search results and promise to donate a minimum of 50% of advertising revenue to the nonprofits and schools selected by our users. Now you and your supporters can make a difference in the lives of many people, simply by changing the way you search the Internet! We have been very fortunate this past year to have been featured in the national press including Oprah Magazine, the NY Times, the Wall Street Journal and CNN.  While this helps to build an overall awareness for our site, your success will largely depend on your ability to spread the word to your supporters.
