It's the giving that gives back to you.
Giving to charity is one of the best things you can do. Even if you don't have time to personally get involved, just a small donation can help pave the way for a lot of good to be done.
We urge each one of you to consider a charity and give to it in any way possible. Today we're going to highlight a cause that will give back to you in a big way immediately.
TrialPay has teamed up with some of the biggest brands to create a package called the Big Bundle that is $29.99. Inside the Big Bundle is $799 worth of products and coupons in which many of you may find value. Even if you don't use up each individual offer in the Big Bundle, you're still going to get more than your donation's worth in the form of a:
- GoDaddy domain,
- PopCap Bejeweled 2,
- TrendMicro AntiVirus,
- Skype credits,
- DropBox Pro,
- FoxIt PDF Creator, and many more.
The very most important thing here is that 100 percent of all net proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.
Check out the Big Bundle here.
Oh, and for being a Tom's Hardware reader, we have a special coupon code for you that'll take 30 percent off the package price. Just enter in TOMSHARDWARE in the gift voucher field to bring the Big Bundle down to $20.99. This does, however, also reduce your contribution to the ACA by $9, so use it only if necessary. Nevertheless, any contribution is better than none at all.
Note: the coupon code is good for just 2000 uses, so be sure to act on it if you're planning to.
Update: just under a week left to get your Big Bundle!

Uhhhh
SWEET!
uhhhhmmmmm.....
there's $10 off $100 purchase at Circuit City....
did i miss the whole company going kaput?
Circuit City is a dot com company now.
Has some decent offers in there. Don't know if I would use any of them though.
Better yet, donate directly to these people:

Big Pharma only likes cures that can be patented.
Uhh, if 100% of each sale goes to charity, isn't a 30% discount on this actually taking 30% of the money the ACS could have made?

That is what I was wondering. Does Tom's pickup the extra or is it just incentive for cheapo THer's.
The coupon acts as a referral code and TH gets paid for referrals.
Meanwhile don't tell people that cancer like aids and diabetes are lifestyle diseases and can be cured,after all if they were viruses then like the common cold or the flu they would be all over the map..

Are you insinuating that AIDS and Diabetes are cancers? WTF?
The American Cancer Society is a scam and can bite me.
Quote from Wiki,
"a report analyzing the chapter's own financial statements and demonstrating that it uses about 95% of its donations for paying salaries and other overhead costs, resulting in a 22 to 1 ratio of overhead to actual money spent on the cause"
95% to pay for saleries, that is a scam.
Without even seeing any actual nubmers it says right in the article "any NET proceeds will go..." Who knows how much is needed to cover costs.
We encourage you NOT to use the coupon because it means less money for the ACS if you do. The idea is to give people a good deal because it's not like everyone decides to donate to cancer research every day. We have to say "net" proceeds because Visa/MasterCard take about 2% (of everything).
Interesting.
There's a couple things there I could actually use. That's the main deciding factor, because I have enough people to give money too...
Do multiple voucher codes work? (One from Toms and one from somewere else?)
The coupon acts as a referral code and TH gets paid for referrals.
As far as I know, we're not getting paid for any referrals at all. This was just something we wanted to support because we thought it was a Good Thing.
Uhh, if 100% of each sale goes to charity, isn't a 30% discount on this actually taking 30% of the money the ACS could have made?
I'm pretty sure what Tom's means is that they will split the donation with you if you purchase a bundle.
Good products. Good price. GREAT cause.
Hmmm, do I really want to spend $21 on a bunch of products I don't want, a bunch of coupons I'll never use, as well as give away my personal information that will likely be shared with participating advertisers and be used to harass me for more donations, all to give a paltry sum to a corrupt charity? I don't think so ¬_¬
I do believe that should read:
[citation][nom]areyoukidding[/nom]I don't care about sick cancer patients. I'm to cheap to donate.[citation]
Wow really? since 100% of the net profits are donated, this is a better deal for the research facilities than the ones you buy at walmart. Hell, if you use only a handful of the coupons you break even.
Great idea for a charity donation; I'd go for it, but I submit donations locally with cash.

It's rather naive to think you are helping cancer patients by purchasing this bundle. All you are really doing is helping the sponsoring companies by doing business with them and lining the pockets of the ACS' board members.
Most of the gift cards are too small for a single item, the coupons require larger purchases, there are better and/or free alternatives to the software applications, the games can be played for free online, and the rest are mostly subscriptions.
If some of the items are things you'd buy regardless of this bundle, then good for you, but if you are only using/buying the items because of the bundle, then you are doing exactly what the sponsors want you to do. I get similar kinds of 'deals' in the form of junk mail every week.
Meanwhile don't tell people that cancer like aids and diabetes are lifestyle diseases and can be cured,after all if they were viruses then like the common cold or the flu they would be all over the map..
This above spoken like a true IDIOT who has no IDEA what they are talking about. Do some reading on the subject of oncology and/or visit a hospital and talk to an oncologist or nurses (even pediatric nurses) before you open your hole again. Cancer knows no age, and will affect people who live very clean lifestyles.
ASSHOLE!!
@rathernaive -- I'm not sure where you get your information from, but (a) your information is not shared with anyone, (b) the ACS has sponsored billions of dollars in cancer research grants that may very well save your life some day (see http://www.cancer.org/docroot/RES/ [...] tearea=RES for just a small sample), and (c) not clear how you'd get all of these things for free.
This is not some evil plot, this is a well-intentioned concept to help a very good cause. And I challenge you to find a better deal in your junk mail.
Let me just get this straight. Your stupid coupon thingy just reaps off 9*2000=18000$ from the cancer donation. I curious if are going to supply the lost cash.
Sadly, without the coupon I would not have bought, so this is where they have to look on the $20 they did get rather than the $30 they didn't.
Nice to see the coupon didn't run out too quickly...
Why are we spending so much friggin money on finding a "cure", when we should be finding ways to avoid Cancer. There is no cure already, its a natural normal response to certain negative influences. It IS a lifestyle disease for most, and it should be avoidable. Follow the money trail i guess, follow the money trail. Everyone wants the magic pill, so they don't have to take any personal responsibility.
Total Rubbish, they have a huge overhead and get paid big salaries. Sure it started out good, like Unions did and now is fat and corrupt and needs to go away.
Toms article says: "The very most important thing here is that 100 percent of all net proceeds go to the American Cancer Society."
I say fowl, rubbish.
From Wiki, Quote about one chapter in the American Cancer Society and their scam to get rich like Union bosses do.
Quote: issued a report analyzing the chapter's own financial statements and demonstrating that it uses about 95% of its donations for paying salaries and other overhead costs, resulting in a 22 to 1 ratio of overhead to actual money spent on the cause.
There will still be uniformed and even informed touchy feely bleeding heart types who will give loads of cash for the cause because it makes them feel good about themselves and have bragging rights at cocktail parties while it lines the private banks account of the bosses. There is an phony idiot born every second.
