If you read this blog, you know I am all about deals and perks AND that I love to support awesome charities. Imagine my surprise when I found out about Chicago start-up Selfless.
Selfless asks you to pick your cause from a list that includes organizations like the no-kill animal shelter PAWS and the cancer-support network Imerman’s Angels. You pledge $9/month. In exchange for this, they offer awesome perks from local businesses. You’ll receive a Selfless perks card, which gets you deals all over Chicago like $10 off your annual Divvy membership, free appetizers at Rockit and $35 town car rides to O’Hare. They also have discounts at Finds’ Faves IVME, Sunda, Mia Francesca, Maza and more! You can pick one cause and stick with it or change monthly. Right now, Selfless is only in Chicago but they hope to expand!
Other things to know: 80% of your $9 monthly membership goes directly to the Cause of your choice. Once you sign up, you can change your Cause once a month or keep it the same, as well as make 1-time donations with 100% of your donation going to the Cause (Both tax deductible). You may cancel at any time.
Use the card often and you’ll save WAY more than you spend on your subscription fee. You know I will!!
I participated in Runaway Bridal Planner’s health and fitness blogger holiday giveaway blog hop and when I saw another one, I signed right up! What is a a blog hop? A group of blogs who are all linked together to offer a variety of giveaways posted on all of the other blogs. Blog readers who come to one person’s blog on the list, see links to all of the others and can click to “hop” on over to the next blog. Well, you know that I love giveaways and to check out new blogs so I decided to link up again!
There are over 20 bloggers participating! The giveaway runs from March 14 – 30. Check out my post and then go see what else you can win! My giveaway includes prizes from ZYM, Milestone Pod, Hydrapak and Ultimate Direction!
