SHOPPING FOR Athens City Schools Foundation
Although the Athens City Schools Foundation encourages shopping in Athens before going out of town or shopping online, it is understandable that sometimes that cannot be done.
When shopping online at AmazonSmile, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% for eligible purchases to the Athens City Schools Foundation! By simply selecting the Athens City Schools Foundation as your charitable organization when making your purchase, you are helping teachers and students in Athens City!
When shopping at smile.amazon.com, you will find the same prices and selection as Amazon.com, with the added bonus of a portion of the purchase price going to the Athens City Schools Foundation. It is a win for everyone!
