In this update, we’d like to introduce to you our new board of directors member. We’d also like to share how the MakeMeSmile extension makes donating to Ben’s Friends easier. And in February, we celebrated World Rare Disease Day by encouraging members to raise awareness about rare diseases.
1. MakeMeSmile makes donating to Ben’s Friends through AmazonSmile much easier
To donate to Ben’s Friends through AmazonSmile, shoppers always need to ensure that they are shopping at Smile.Amazon.com (instead of the homepage). With the MakeMeSmile extension, the Chrome browser will automatically redirect shoppers to Smile.Amazon.com whenever they visit Amazon.com.
2. Help spread awareness about rare diseases
Through this blog, we encouraged our readers to join us in raising awareness about rare diseases in celebration of World Rare Disease Day.
3. Please welcome our new board of directors member
We’re happy to announce that Tiffany Scaparotti, Assistant Dean of Development at Northwestern University – Feinberg School of Medicine, is joining our board of directors. She has been serving on the board of advisors for several years and we’re lucky to have her.
