Help kids simply by shopping
There’s nothing like finding that perfect item online…except knowing that your purchase will help kids in need. Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston recently joined OneCause, an online community that allows you to help our members simply by shopping online.

And if you download the OneCause toolbar, every Yahoo search you perform also supports Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.
OneCause is a portal to hundreds of well-known online merchants including Staples, Amazon, Peapod, Toys “R” Us, Sears, Kodak Gallery, Pottery Barn, Gap, Ann Taylor, Expedia, Petco and many more.
