Clown Unicycling 1,000 Miles to Help Charities

COLUMBUS, Ohio , June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Mophe (rhymes with loaf) the clown is riding "Uni" 1,000 miles around the country to raise awareness for a new program where folks can donate gift cards to charities on http://www.GiftCardDonor.com.

The rides are to help support charities like the March of Dimes Foundation, Operation Smile Inc., Central Ohio Diabetes Association, Western Pennsylvania Humane Society, Pomona Valley Workshop and many more listed on http://www.GiftCardDonor.com. Any company's gift card with any remaining value on it can be donated, like that card you received for Christmas and still haven't used.

Mophe is visiting cities for short rides, riding in parades, and performing at charity events like races and walks to rack up his miles (over 130 so far). Mophe said, "It is incredible to see everyone's face light up when I roll by on Uni and they are just thrilled to find out I'm riding to help charities."

What do they do with the cards? The donated gift cards are resold on sister site http://www.GiftCardsAgain.com and then 75% of the revenue goes to the donor's designated charity. Customers at Gift Cards Again can find donated cards by looking for the "CH" symbol while they shop for gift cards discounted up to 20% off the face value. So, shoppers can save money using these discounted gift cards for themselves and support charities at the same time.

Gift Card Donor and Gift Cards Again are run by Shared Progress Inc., a professional fundraiser (a.k.a. a paid solicitor). Learn more at http://www.GiftCardDonor.com/States or by calling 1-877-422-8922.

Follow Mophe's journey online at http://www.GiftCardDonor.com/Mophe, via his Facebook page, and on Twitter. Be sure to give him a high five if you see him along the way!
