FUNDRAISERS.COM IS SWEET ON CHARITY

(LOS ANGELES, CA)- Entrepreneur and well known fundraising veteran Annie Van Bebber, today announced the debut of Fundraisers.com (www.fundraisers.com) and its online magazine, Community of Giving which focuses on information and ideas that help both local community based and national organizations raise money and awareness for their causes. The site was developed to meet the needs of fundraisers, as well as the companies who provide services and products to them.

"I have been heavily involved for 32 years in organizations that raise money to benefit others," said Ms. Van Bebber. "When they first issued domain name registration I purchased fundraisers.com, but never had the time to develop the site because I was involved in other ventures. In December 2002, I put a page up asking visitors to sign-up for notification of the site launch. We received over 4,000 e-mails from people desperately in need of quality information and experienced assistance in fundraising-- without even being listed with a single search engine!! I could see that there was clearly a need that was not currently being met."

Ms. Van Bebber has been involved in major fundraising efforts for The T.J. Martell Foundation, The Neil Bogart Memorial Fund, PTA, The March of Dimes, AMFAR, The Leukemia Society of America, Recording Artists Against Drunk Driving (RADD) and KidsCharities.com, for whom she has literally raised millions of dollars. In combining her passion for charitable causes with her grasp of the Internet's potential, Ms. Van Bebber hopes to provide charitable institutions and community based organizations with the information and tools they need to raise funds more efficiently.

Annie Van Bebber is well known for creating revenue generating and brand building strategies, as well as for masterminding award-winning websites and properties. She was a founding partner of Attitude Network, where she led its HappyPuppy.com games site to highly-acclaimed, record-Internet-success status and was a partner in the award-winning StarChefs.com, the premier culinary forum featuring celebrity chefs and recipes from around the world.
