Goodsearch It!
PCC can get a donation for each internet search you do.  It's easy!  Go to goodsearch.com, make it the default browser (instead of Google, MSN, etc) and choose PCC as the non-profit you want to support (they walk you through the process - it's quick).  You can also "goodshop" through this site at a long list of participating retailers (even Amazon, which sells everything).  A percentage of all your purchases will go to PCC.
