Save the Children and Sam Simon Double the Benefit of Year-End Tax
Deductible Gifts
Co-creator of television's "The Simpsons" is matching charitable
donations to Save the Children up to $1 Million
WESTPORT, Conn. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 27, 2007 --
With just a few days remaining in the 2007 tax year, individuals looking
to maximize the value of their year-end charitable donations can have
their gifts to Save the Children matched by Sam Simon, co-creator of The
Simpsons and writer, producer and director of some of TV's most popular
shows such as Cheers and Taxi.
The Sam Simon Challenge promises to match donations up to $1 million to
support the work of Save the Children, a humanitarian organization
serving children and families in need in the United States and
worldwide. Donations must be made before midnight Eastern Time on
December 31, 2007 through Save the Children's website at: http://www.savethechildren.org/matchinggift
"Supporting Save the Children's mission is a powerful way to help change
children's lives around the world," said Sam Simon. "I've seen Save the
Children in action in Latin America and the Himalayas, and I've met
children and families whose lives were transformed and whose futures
hold great hope because of your support. Donations through the Sam Simon
Challenge will help the organization respond to children's urgent and
ongoing needs – not just during crises, but
every day."
"Particularly around the holidays, many people are inspired to give to
those in need," said Save the Children President and CEO Charles
MacCormack. "Thanks to Sam Simon's generosity, those who are considering
a charitable donation before then end of the 2007 tax season, can see
their gift doubled, with the potential of raising $2 million to support
children in need."
Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating
lasting change for children in need in the United States and around the
world. Save the Children USA is a member of the International Save the
Children Alliance, a global network of 28 independent Save the Children
organizations working to ensure the well-being and protection of
children in more than 110 countries. For more information, visit: http://www.savethechildren.org
