My company, Cisco Systems, Inc., has added BeadforLife to its Matching Gifts program, and created a team challenge for my Boston Marathon run. The campaign is called: “2007 David Ensign Boston Marathon run for BeadforLife”.
Donation Instructions for Cisco Employees
You may donate to this campaign using the "Direct Payment to Charity/Request a Match" (if you have already given directly to the charity) or via credit card or one-time payroll deduction (with automatic match via I-Give). The latter is the easiest way to do it since it is done completely online.
To find this campaign on I-Give, please log into the CEC and follow this URL: http://wwwin.cisco.com/HR/apps/CH/index.cgi. Once on the welcome page, click the button for "Search for a Charity & Donate." This will bring you to the Giving Launch Page with the campaign listing as in the screenshot below. You will find "2007 David Ensign Boston Marathon Run for BeadforLife" listed alphabetically under "Special Matching Events."
The minimum donation through I-Give is $50. All donations are completely tax deductible, and will be matched by Cisco at 100%. Since this is a special campaign, your donation will not affect your $1000 annual match allowance.
The donors on I-Give are not shared with me (although you can specify to have your info shared with BeadForLife). So, please let me thank you again in advance now for your generous support! Boston is coming up soon, and I'll be ready to run fast.
If you pay using this option, I won’t know unless you email me to let me know. For those who don’t, I’m thanking you now!!!
