Tornado Relief Fund Donation

Filed under Donations by Jennifer Billy on May 9, 2011 at 1:52 pm {no comments}

Southeastern U.S. was hit with over 250 tornadoes in the span of 24 hours. One of the hardest hit areas was Tuscaloosa, AL. You can help those that were affected by these storms by donating your SwagBucks!

SwagBucks have chosen to support the United Way of Western Alabama who have committed 100% of donations to go directly to local tornado relief.

Here’s how the total Swag Bucks collected will be converted into a cash donation:

10,000,000 SB = $100,000.00
7,500,000 SB = $73,750.00
5,000,000 SB = $47,500.00
2,500,000 SB = $23,250.00
1,500,000 SB = $13,750.00
1,000,000 SB = $9,000.00
750,000 SB = $6,375.00
500,000 SB = $4,050.00
250,000 SB = $1,925.00
200,000 SB = $1,500.00
135,000 SB = $1,000.00
68,000 SB = $500.00

The deadline for donations is Tuesday May 31st at 12:00pm PDT.
