This holiday season we are once again raising money for the Uncle Grumps Education Initiative.  The Education Initiative is dedicated to helping improve educational opportunities in areas of entrenched poverty.  The Education Initiative will be using 100 percent of the funds it receives from now until the end of the year to help launch an education fund for the children at the Bethel Orphanage in San Luis, Mexico.  

Here are the ways you can help:

1.  The easiest way to help is to click through here for any shopping you’ll do at Amazon.  We receive a referral fee for purchases from Amazon made from this link (including books, music, electronics, toys, games, etc).  One hundred percent of the referral fees will be donated to the Education Initiative.



2.  Buy the CD “Everything Under the Sun.”  It’s a great compilation CD and proceeds benefit the Education Initiative.  We have recouped the cost of making the CD, so 100 percent of the sale price (minus shipping costs) will be donated.  We also have song samples so you can check out the music.



3.  Buy the Grumpy Christmas T-Shirt.  $5.00 from each sale will be donated to the Education Initiative.



4.  We have a small selection of books (and one CD) for sale that received rave reviews on the site.  $2.00 from the sale of each item will benefit the Uncle Grumps Education Initiative.  Read the reviews and find great gifts.
