STREET BLOG: OUR STAFF SHARES THEIR STORIES

We just learned about an amazing new web tool called GoodSearch. And we hope you'll use it to benefit Streetside.

GoodSearch is a search engine, and a good one (it's got the same capabilities as Yahoo!)

For every search you perform on GoodSearch, Streetside will receive a little more than a cent. Sounds like nothing, right? Well, think about how many web searches you do each day. Then imagine 100 people or more using GoodSearch every day. That's a lot of searches.

Streetside can earn $500, $1,000 or even $1,500 a year if a bunch of people use GoodSearch as their search engine. $1,000 is enough to buy all of the art supplies we use in our after school programs this year. It's enough to buy a new laptop for one of our tech programs. It's enough to pay for printing student learning materials for 1,000 students. In short, it makes a big difference.

Here's how:

Just go to http://www.goodsearch.com/. In the box that asks who you GoodSearch for, enter Streetside Stories. Then, click to add GoodSearch to your toolbar (it works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari). Or click to make it your homepage. Either way, it will make using GoodSearch automatic.

GoodSearch also has something called GoodShop, which directs a percentage of your purchases from popular stores like J. Crew, Zappos and Best Buy to your chosen charity. You'll see more info on the GoodSearch page.

Thanks for searching!
