Shop at 3 stores and Help Kids in Africa

I love GAP Clothes (not only because my sister in law is a manager at one) but because their clothes are heavy duty and last quite a while and because they give back to help the poor in Africa. You can help this weekend too in their effort while receiving a discount.
Click here to get a coupon to shop at GAP, OLD NAVY, and BANANA REPUBLIC from March 12- 15, 2009. By shopping, not only do you get a discount but I have chosen the Charity GLOBAL FUND to receive a portion of your sales to help kids in Africa suffering from Poverty, Malaria, and AIDS. Thanks so much for your help and feel free to pass this on.
