Shop through the blog and donate money to our team!!

If you've visited the Mamas and the Tatas fundraising blog , you may have noticed the Amazon Shopping link on our sidebar in the form of ads. After some discussion, we have decided to "monetize" our blog to help us raise money for the Susan G. Komen 3 Day for the Cure by partnering with Amazon Associates.


Rest assured, we are not trying to make any money off our team blog for ourselves. Rather, it is our hope that through this partnership, we can give everyone an opportunity to support the Mamas and the Tatas in the Washington, DC 3 Day for the Cure without having to spend an extra dime of their own money. To learn all the details, please read on!


Amazon Associates
The Mamas and the Tatas have now formed a mutual partnership with the Amazon Associates program. Through this program, we agree to provide free advertising for Amazon and their products on our blog. In exchange, every time someone accesses Amazon.com through a link on our blog, we get a small kickback from the sale of up to 15% of the sale total donated to our team for the 3 Day. It's just as simple as that!


To support The Mamas and the Tatas in this way, anytime you are doing any shopping on Amazon.com, please visit our team blog first. Then scroll down the right hand sidebar of either site until you see the Amazon search box under the heading "Support The Mamas and the Tatas by Shopping with Amazon!". Enter whatever it is you're looking for in the search box and you will be automatically redirected to the Amazon.com website to make your purchase just like you normally would.


Once you're there, you can add as many items to your shopping cart as you want. You only have to click through our website when you first enter the Amazon website. That's it. You don't have to add an additional donation to your total or enter a promotional code or anything!


Please note that all of the funds generated through this program will be donated to The Mamas and the Tatas as a team.

So now that we've made it so easy to support us, what are you waiting for? Get shopping on Amazon today!

Welcome to the Mamas and the Tatas!

Welcome to the fundraising blog for The Mamas and the Tatas, a Stafford, VA team made up of local Mom’s walking in the 2011 Washington, DC Breast Cancer 3 Day! We will use this blog to announce our various fundraising efforts over the next year.

As you may know, in order to participate in the Breast Cancer 3 Day, each individual must raise a minimum of $2300. To help towards our team fundraising efforts this year, we have decided to start this blog detailing our path towards our final goal.  We plan on having a variety of fundraising events and contests so please check often to see what is next.  You can subscribe to the blog by entering your email and stay up to date with all the latest news.

The Mamas and the Tatas
