Super-Bowling for Haiti

I’ve mentioned, briefly, that some college friends, Jeff and Andre Shinabarger, run a forward-thinking charity called Gift Card Giver. The short version is they collect unused gift cards (any amount) and forward them to people in need. The long version is…well, you should watch their video (below).

Their latest efforts are aimed at the relief work in Haiti, which we all know is a MASSIVE undertaking. So here’s another small but innovative way you can do your part.

From the good people of Gift Card Giver:

“The super bowl is the house party of the year. We know, you will be at a house watching the big screen with your friends, eating junk food, yelling for no reason and voting on what commercial was the funniest.

We need you, yes you, the one with the cheese dip in your lap. While you are cheering, we need you to help us collect gift cards to help with relief efforts in Haiti. Every person has an unused gift card ($8 billion annually) and you can help do something super by collecting those cards to support a great need.

Party with a purpose. Simply, have a super giver bowl and put gift cards in it instead of chips. When you’re wiping up soda spills and filling your dishwasher, you can throw the gift cards in an envelope to Gift Card Giver and you’ll have given your party even more purpose. But don’t forget to tell your friends to bring their gift cards!”

SUPER STEPS
1. Tell your friends to bring gift cards to your super bowl party.
2. Put a bowl between the cheese dip and ice cubes, make people give.
3. Watch our video at halftime to share the SUPER idea. http://tinyurl.com/giftcardgivercnn
4. Put the gift cards in an envelope: Gift Card Giver, PO Box 17628-Atlanta, GA 30316
5. Help Haiti people in great need.
