National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association Partners with nonprofitshoppingmall.com to Empower Supporters to become “Everyday Givers” through Everyday Online Shopping
 
Nov. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- This holiday season, what if you could shop online and have a percentage of your shopping dollars earmarked for fibromyalgia and chronic pain support and advocacy—AT NO ADDITIONAL COST OR OUT-OF-POCKET MONEY TO YOU, the shopper?

The National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association (NFMCPA) today announced that it is making it possible for its supporters to do just that through its new partnership with nonprofitshoppingmall.com.  

Through http://shop.fmcpaware.org, a unique online shopping mall for NFMCPA established by nonprofitshoppingmall.com, consumers can shop for the things they would normally buy, from the brands they would normally purchase, and at the prices they would normally pay. However, when they shop through http://shop.fmcpaware.org, they are also contributing funds to the NFMCPA; a portion of the proceeds from each purchase benefit the organization directly.

“As a nonprofit organization, fundraising is not an easy task, especially given the health challenges of our supporters which for many have also led to financial difficulties,” said Jan Favero Chambers, president and founder of the National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association. “That’s why I am so thrilled that through nonprofitshoppingmall.com, we are empowering our supporters and everyday shoppers to help support the work of the NFMCPA without asking them to spend or give more than they are willing or able.”

Chambers added she is especially pleased to be working with nonprofitshoppingmall.com founder and owner, Corine Couwenberg, who was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2008.

“This is truly a labor of love for me — I enjoy working with our partners and we are very selective in who we work with,” said Couwenberg, who was the regional Development Director for Special Olympics Southern California before she launched nonprofitshoppingmall.com.

"I am especially thrilled to have NFMCPA on board," said Couwenberg.  "I know that for many people, fibromyalgia and the chronic pains from overlapping conditions make life difficult to negotiate on a daily basis. There are days when I don't particularly want to get out of bed and those are the days that I do my own online shopping.  I hope that our relationship going forward can take a load-off those persons with fibromyalgia and chronic pain by simplifying this one aspect of their day-to-day lives; and, at the same time, raise money and awareness for and about fibromyalgia in general and NFMCPA in particular."

Facebook fans of the National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association may also shop online via the NFMCPA fan page at www.facebook.com/nfmcpa.

Visit http://shop.fmcpaware.org today and let the shopping—and giving—begin!
