Ad Magic has launched a fundraising site that allows people who are building card decks to donate to a charity of their choice.

 The press release is due out Tuesday or Wednesday – but the basic idea is that you go on the site – and build a deck with pics of your family or a logo for your business or whatever and each deck made donates $1.50 to the cause of your choice that is listed on the site.  The non -profit organizations get a free landing page on the site – which costs them nothing – and all they need to do to promote the landing page is hand out flyers or inexpensive business cards with the landing page on it.  Or they can just pass it around on their social media outlets.  So for example – customcarddecks.com/savethemustangs would go to the non profit trying to save the mustang horses.

The press release for the site can be seen here at Custom Playing Card Decks.

I would love to hear what you think about this!! Please feel free to email me with suggestions – or non profits that may be interested.
