HOW DO I DO THIS?
You can create your very own web page in minutes (REALLY) and raise funds for any PATH project.
You can personalize your site, distribute it to everyone you know and track the progress.
The project(s) that are important to you are then easily presented to everyone you know.
The action that they take on your behalf is very easy and they can even leave a short message back to you.
All funds are collected via credit card by First Giving. You will not have to collect anything.
