Think about how much you spend each year on birthday, anniversary and Christmas cards.

E-cards are virtual greeting cards that you can personally tailor and send via email. They are exciting and different to traditional greeting cards, some comprising of a short film clip as opposed to one image. E-cards are also environmentally friendly as they do not make use of paper and packaging.

Persuade your friends and family to send e-cards and donate the money they would spend on paper cards and stamps to charity. 100% of the donation will go straight to the cause plus they still send their kind thoughts.
