Portion of Amazon.com purchases to benefit John Updike Society

Screen Shot 2016-03-26 at 1.00.08 PMIf you shop Amazon.com, you can help the John Updike Society by changing your bookmark from amazon.com to smile.amazon.com so that all orders go through the “smile” url. Amazon will donate .5 percent of eligible purchases directly to the Society.

Once you designate the John Updike Society as your charity, bookmark the page and every time you buy something through Amazon you will go through the smile program and .5 percent will automatically go to our non-profit organization. The prices are no different, and it’s no more difficult to shop through the smile portal than through amazon.com. It’s just their way of tracking donations.

Spread the word. Point 5 percent might not sound like a lot, but it adds up, and every little bit helps when we’re in the midst of restoring The John Updike Childhood Home and turning it into a museum.
