Online Shoppers: Smile and Say CECO

/

We’ve got a holiday shopping tip that will really make you smile. Shop AmazonSmile and a portion of your purchase will be donated to the San Diego County Employees’ Charitable Organization (CECO).

AmazonSmile functions the same as Amazon, but the online retailer donates 0.5 percent of the product price of eligible purchases to a charity of your choice. It is almost guilt-free shopping!

This deal is good whether you are shopping in your pj’s on Black Friday, from your phone on Cyber Monday or any other day of the year. You could be shopping for a white elephant gift for your office’s holiday party, that sought-after Star Wars toy for your children or new slippers for grandma.

Using AmazonSmile is easy.

  1. Go to smile.amazon.com (different from the regular Amazon link).

  2. Sign in to your Amazon account or create one.

  3. If it is your first visit, pick your own charitable organization. Type “San Diego County Employees' Charitable Organization” or “CECO” as your charity.

  4. Shop as you normally would! (You will see eligible products marked as “Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” on product detail pages.

  5. Bonus tip: Save the AmazonSmile link as a favorite and always shop from there.

There are several other ways to support CECO throughout the year. Make a biweekly donation via payroll deductions for as little as $2 per pay period. See CECO pledge instructions. Or you could make a one-time donation by contacting your CECO Department Representative or a member of the CECO Executive Committee.
