Give a Dollar, Get a Dollar! (For porphyria research)

Monica Firchow is a long-time volunteer, spokesperson and fund raiser for porphyria research. For National Pophyria Awareness Week this year (April 17-24), she spoke to the local business community about porphyria and, with her business partner, made this very special offer to customers at her shop, Upscale Resale Consignment Boutique, in California's beautiful Central Coast region.

"Porphyria is something near and dear to Monica’s heart.  Anyone who goes to www.porphyriafoundation.com and donates through May 31, 2010 will receive a dollar of Upscale Resale store credit for every dollar donated, up to $100.  Just follow the link and make sure to print out a receipt and bring it to the store.  Dollar for Dollar your donation will count to support research and patient resources with the American Porphyria Foundation and give you Upscale Resale store credit.  (To read about Monica’s connection with porphyria, please go to www.genebennett.net)"

For those who live far away, Monica adds:

"Anyone can call us and let us know what they're looking for—a Coach bag, Prada shoes, True Religion jeans, etc.—and we can call them when it comes through the store. They can use their credit and we'll send it off. Their dollar for dollar store credit is good for as long as I am in business! It'll always be in our credit binder until they spend it."

Donate up to $100 to the APF today and get store credit at Upscale Resale!
