Important Please Read - Amazon Smile
WHO LOVES TO SHOP?
It is a one time set up and so easy to do!
- Go to https://smile.amazon.com (instead of Amazon.com)
- Choose J&R Booster Club as your charitable group (you only have to do this one time)
- Log in as you normally would and start shopping
- Please remember to use Amazon smile from this point forward instead of Amazon and J&R Booster club will earn money for every item you purchase.
- Tell all your family and friends to do the same!
What is AmazonSmile?
AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support your favorite charitable organization every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to your favorite charitable organization. You can choose from nearly one million organizations to support.
How do I shop at AmazonSmile?
To shop at AmazonSmile simply go to smile.amazon.com from the web browser on your computer or mobile device. You may also want to add a bookmark to smile.amazon.com to make it even easier to return and start your shopping at AmazonSmile.
Which products on AmazonSmile are eligible for charitable donations?
Tens of millions of products on AmazonSmile are eligible for donations. You will see eligible products marked “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on their product detail pages. Recurring Subscribe-and-Save purchases and subscription renewals are not currently eligible.
Can I use my existing Amazon.com account on AmazonSmile?
Yes, you use the same account on Amazon.com and AmazonSmile. Your shopping cart, Wish List, wedding or baby registry, and other account settings are also the same.
How do I select a charitable organization to support when shopping on AmazonSmile?
On your first visit to AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), you need to select a charitable organization to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. We will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation.
Can I change my charity?
Yes, you can change your charity any time. Your AmazonSmile purchases after the change count towards your newly selected charity. To change your charity, sign in to smile.amazon.com on your desktop or mobile phone browser and simply select “Change your Charity” in “Your Account.”
How much of my purchase does Amazon donate?
The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. The purchase price is the amount paid for the item minus any rebates and excluding shipping & handling, gift-wrapping fees, taxes, or service charges. From time to time, we may offer special, limited time promotions that increase the donation amount on one or more products or services or provide for additional donations to charitable organizations.
Upcoming Fundraisers
- I want to say a special thank you to all the moms/dads that have continually donated their time this year and have gone above and beyond. We are so lucky to have such a great group of parents.
- This year has been one of the strongest fundraising years we have had as a club and I know we are all tired of raising money, but we are only a few thousand dollars away from raising 30k. If we hit this goal, it is entirely possible that we will get close to 100% refund. Please help us make this goal by participating in the next few events (night out, popcorn sales, Amazon Smile). If we are going to make it, we need everyone to participate.
- Willies Grill and Ice House
- Tuesday 2/7 from 4:00 pm to close.
- Willies will donate 15% of the proceeds back to our Booster Club. Please dine in or take out during this time to help make this event a success. Make sure to mention your are there for a J&R Fundraiser.
Coming this spring - Popcorn fundraiser - more details at our next booster meeting
Fundraiser Results
- We raised $2154
- Thank you to all who donated to the wonderful baskets and to the moms who put them together (they looked so professional)
- Also a big thank you to everyone that helped sell the raffle tickets.
