Small things can have a huge impact. As much as we enjoyed handing out free stuff at career fairs, we realized that we could make an even bigger impact by spending our money differently. Instead of investing in giveaways that end up cluttering landfills, we decided to invest in the long-term success of our communities and our world.
This is where you come in. We've chosen six deserving organizations as potential recipients of the funds we used to spend on promo items—but you get to decide who gets the money.
All you have to do is vote. Help us make a difference by choosing the organization that you think should be this year's recipient. We'll be collecting votes until May 31, 2013.
Ready to make an impact? You can only vote once, so study up on each organization before submitting your vote.
The recipient of the 2011-2012 Fill Hearts Not Landfills campaign: American Cancer Society!
