Roo, I'll be doing some shopping on Amazon, and will look for that. Thanks for the "heads up".

Thanks Roo, a very good suggestion, I fully agree.  If our seasonal shopping can help to support a charity of our choice at the same time then it makes perfect sense and more people benefit.

Hi Roo,

Thanks for bringing this up! I've been using Amazon Smile for some of my shopping this year too. I have donated to the Gary Senise fund, another one of the many funds and organizations available. I think it's a great idea and I hope people take your advice. It's a very good cause!

Not sure if this is the correct area but I posted here since it is related to the drug access problem that has been our forum's focus of late.

For those of you shopping today who would like to help the Treatment Action Group to fight the insurance & pharmaceutical companies you can choose to shop on Amazon Smile. 

You can chose T. A. G. from the drop down menu. They will donate 0.5% of your purchase price to the charity you select. You don't pay extra and it's the same prices as the regular amazon.

I have no affiliation with  this group or amazon. I will be doing my shopping this way in the hopes it will help others to get treatment. ~ Roo
