You only have to sign up once and it doesn't cost anything. Just designate Oral Cancer Foundation (in Newport, CA) Go to: smile.amazon.com and designate OCF. But that's not all. You must bookmark Amazon Smile once you've signed up and click on that link to Amazon to have the donation go to OCF.

When someone clicks on the Amazon box, OCF receives 5-7% of a kickback. A few months ago someone else posted about the Amazon Smile program. That program gives OCF much less than our normal kickback. Sorry, I cant find the thread anymore.

I know there are not that many Canuck members, but it would still be a source of donations for OCF.
