Norfolk, VA (PRWEB) January 14, 2013 -- Affinity4, one of the nation's leading affinity-based marketers specializing in helping charities, ministries and other nonprofit organizations raise funds, recently staffed the ForKids Holiday Shop in an all-day volunteering effort, benefitting ForKids clients on site at the Good Mojo Thrift Shop.
"It was great to work with ForKids and be able to help provide a Christmas for local children and families, who may not otherwise have been able to have Christmas," said Steve Halliday, President and CEO of Affinity4.
For this holiday campaign, Affinity4 pledged to donate $5 for every wireless product purchased through Affinity4 from October 1 to December 14 to ForKids' Holiday Shop, resulting in a $500 donation.
