WEBSITE WATCH
Today we are blessed, to have technology improve communication and transcend the limitations of face to face contact. The potential to learn from
cultures across the globe, opens new doors of understanding and growth. Sourcing information and voicing our opinions are all part of
the Internet Age, but with this advantage comes the responsibility to maintain quality and integrity of content. Alas there will always be
gossip, useless banter and silly notions circulating as part of the Freedom of Speech Act and amidst this fluff we seek those few exceptional sites, that

Message from the President and CEO, Care2
The seeds for Care2 were planted many years ago. As a 13-year-old boy, I traveled with my father in a thatch-covered boat up
the awe-inspiring Amazon. My father studied Latin American birds, while I marveled at the rich wildlife, lush vegetation and
fascinating people we encountered deep in the jungle. Even as I was moved by my lush surroundings, my heart was heavy from
the sickness, poverty and deforestation that stood in stark contrast to the rainforest’s beauty.
One simple truth stuck with me: The world is terribly out of balance. From that truth, an overwhelming desire to make a
difference was born. I realized that the power to make a positive change in the world was within each of us. But how do we
harness that power? The answer came in 1998. The Internet. Finally, the power to mobilize the world was at hand. I
raised money from some kind and crazy souls, then really lucked out in finding two extraordinary partners — Matt McGlynn
(now our chief technology officer) and Camilla Eriksson (now our vice president of e-cards). In September 1998, we
launched Care2 from my tiny apartment.
Care2 provides powerful tools to make a difference in your life, community, country and world. It’s driven by
passionate people (just like you) who want to restore the world’s balance. Care2 grew out of my apartment a long time ago.
Today, over 50 employees, 8 million members, 250 nonprofit organizations and hundreds of responsible advertisers contribute
to making powerful, positive changes in our world. Thank you for caring!
