DOUBLE YOUR HOLIDAY GIVING TODAY
Gifts that Save Lives Through Medical Teams International
(PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 5, 2010)—You can’t beat a holiday special like this. Every dollar you spend on items in the new Medical Teams International Gifts of Hope catalog will be doubled between now and Dec. 31, 2010.
For the third year in a row, an anonymous donor has partnered with Medical Teams International to help deliver twice as much lifesaving care and supplies into the hands of sick and suffering people.
The donor will give matching funds – up to $200,000 – for every dollar anyone spends purchasing gifts from the non-profit’s Gift of Hope Catalog released on Oct. 1.
The catalog includes gifts that provide:
> Disaster Kits to families for $30 each
> Dental care for a child in the United States for $70
> Health care for three children in Central America for $20.70
Each gift, ranging from $2-$5,000, delivers lifesaving care to someone in need. You also can choose to purchase gifts in honor of someone you love.
Order your own catalog and ask for cards to send to your friends by calling: 800.959.HEAL.(4325). Or order gifts online at www.medicalteams.orgcatalog and send e-cards to your friends.
Remember, to double the value of your purchase, you have to buy your Gift of Hope by Dec. 31. So, act now. Please place your order today at www.medicalteams.org./catalog
