Help Gift Gather Test Its Platform and Raise Money for Missoula Toys for Tots
Gift Gather (GFTGTHR) is a new Montana-based start-up that’s raising money for Toys for Tots as part of its beta launch and platform-testing phase.
The mission of Gift Gather, according to founder Cynthia Kellogg, is “to give engaged couples who already have all the things they need an alternative to traditional gift registries or awkwardly asking for money instead of gifts. Couples can gather funds for the honeymoon or to buy a home, or raise money for their favorite charities. Our goal is to make giving as easy and meaningful as possible.”
So, to celebrate the renewal of their wedding vows, Santa and Mrs. Claus are fundraising via Gift Gather for Missoula Toys for Tots.
Click on Santa & Mrs. Claus to go GFTGTHR and help Santa and Mrs. Claus raise money for Missoula Toys for Tots.
Their goal is to raise $1,000 by New Year’s Day and all proceeds will go to Toys for Tots. As of December 23, they’re at 11% of their goal to help make Christmas in 2013 and beyond a little brighter for Missoula’s kids.
They also hope to inspire other couples who are looking for a simple, elegant solution for wedding gift gathering.
To make a contribution to Missoula Toys for Tots, go to the Santa and Mrs. Claus GFGTHR page. The campaign ends on January 1.
When you contribute a gift in honor of Santa and Mrs. Claus, you’re not only helping a fantastic Missoula charity, you’re also helping this new local start-up make their customer experience even better. The founders would love to know what you think of Gift Gather – email info@gftgthr.com to give feedback or offer any suggestions.
The Clauses and everyone at Gift Gather wish you a merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous 2013!
