GiveForward Announces Partnership With MyLifeLine.org
Users of MyLifeLine.org, an online community for cancer patients, can now easily blend their fundraising and blogging efforts by placing GiveForward.org's fundraising widget onto their personal pages.
Online, July 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Fundraising web site GiveForward.org has just announced a new partnership with MyLifeLine.org, a non-profit organization that provides cancer patients with a place to blog about their progress and experiences.
While many MyLifeLine users have already been using GiveForward to raise money for their medical expenses, MyLifeLine recently began formally endorsing and streamlining GiveForward's services directly to their users.
The members of MyLifeLine.org can now simply set up a fundraiser on GiveForward.org and then place the personalized widget provided for them onto their MyLifeLine pages. Prior to this partnership, MyLifeLine users could only use PayPal to fundraise directly on their blogs. The use of GiveForward's widget, however, will give MyLifeLine blog readers the opportunity to donate without being taken to a separate site.
GiveForward Co-founder Ethan Austin said of the new arrangement: "MyLifeLine.org is a phenomenal organization that helps friends and family stay connected while a loved one is going through cancer. We are tremendously excited about this partnership and believe the addition of an easy way to fundraise will be a huge benefit to the MyLifeLine.org community."
