In the spirit of the holidays, Grip wanted to do something special for a good cause and a great client.  This year, Grip is hosting a Christmas drive to help meet the needs of kids and families in crisis served by Annie Malone Children & Family Center.

Donate & Get a free gift certificate!

Our goal is to fulfill every item on the Annie Malone Christmas Wishlist, but we can’t do it without your help! And to provide a little incentive, we’ll give everyone who donates a free gift certificate for print or web services through Grip Agency.

 

AND –– First 5 donations get $100 in Google Adwords credits!

2 ways to give:

We’re making donating easy and rewarding, because we really want to meet our goal.  Your charity is twofold, donate to kids and families and need, and get a gift certificate for a friend or family member to help them market their business in this tough economy.  We have 2 options to give:

Bring an item in or make a donation online and receive a gift certificate from $30 – $250 off our print and web services.**
Gift certificates available via email for online donations and upon drop-off.

** Gift certificate value based off of individual donation. We appreciate every contribution, no matter how small. Got questions or concerns? Call us at 314.650.9083
