This year - and as far as we know for the first time anywhere - 100% of your purchases of sponsored products in August will benefit CARE! And half of all other purchases from The Cable Company or UsedCable.com (yes, even used items) will also benefit CARE.

Also new this year we are welcoming some of our Ultra Systems affiliate component vendors who are joining the Summmer Against Hunger. Special thanks to these manufacturers for joining the party:
Consonance

FAQ:
Q: I understand if I purchase something that this benefits CARE. But can I make a separate donation to take advantage of this opportunity to leverage up the impact for CARE? Is it tax deductible?
A: Yes, additional tax deductible contributions, not tied to purchases, are also welcome and will earn the matching funds described below in the paragraph which begins "Why support CARE?" (e.g. a $10 contribution can result in a $50 benefit for CARE). Just send a check made out to "CARE" to our offices, and we will include it with our package of donations. (Or just treat yourself to a special purchase, and we will make your donation for you!)
Here is the text of our ad:This August when you purchase our sponsors' products, the Cable Company, it's sponsoring vendors, and other CARE donors will send an amount equal to your purchase to CARE. Purchase other products from The Cable Company (and UsedCable.com) and an amount equal to half of your purchase goes to CARE.
Here's the math: The Cable Company donates 5% of each purchase to CARE. This amount is matched by participating vendors for sales of their products. This year, for the first time, an anonymous donor will match this combined contribution from The Cable Company and it's participating vendors. When this total amount is donated to a CARE project, CARE will try to secure other donations up to the entire amount of Cable Company purchases. But if other donors cannot be found, our anonymous donor has agreed to contribute to CARE the entire remainder amount of Cable Company purchases up to $250,000.
For purchases of brands not on the Sponsors list below, and for all purchases of used products from The Cable Company and UsedCable.com, there is no vendor match, but all of the other matching funds outlined above will apply. This will yield a benefit to CARE equal to 50% of the value of your purchases in August from The Cable Company and UsedCable.com (subject to the terms of the previous paragraph).
Why support CARE? In addition to CARE's important work described on www.care.org, it is also an efficient organization. More than 90% of CARE's expended resources - among the highest of all philanthropic organizations - support its poverty-fighting projects around the world. Less than 10% of their resources go toward administrative and fund-raising costs. In addition every $1 that CARE receives in private support in turn helps to secure an additional $4 in donated supplies, government grants, and other monies from international, institutional donors.
All purchases in August from The Cable Company of new products from the following audio brands will yield equal contributions to CARE subject to the "Here's the math" section above. We are grateful to these Sponsors for their participation: Acoustic Revive
