Help Fandom Rocks by Searching, Shopping, Playing

Fandom Rocks has enrolled in a number of programs to assist with administrative costs. Read on to learn how you can help Fandom Rocks by searching, shopping, and playing online.

  1. Search the web using GoodSearch.com. There is a dropdown on the page that displays the charity you are contributing to. You can also add a toolbar to your browser for easier searching, or make GoodSearch your homepage.

  2. Shop the web using GoodShop.com. You don’t have to register or give them your information! Just click and shop.
  3. Start your Amazon shopping from one of our links. Even if you purchase shoes, as long as you start from one of our links, Amazon remembers that we sent you to their site and gives us credit for your purchase. Be sure to check out their Black Friday Deals – still going on now!

Here is one more idea brought to us by a fan at the convention. (Thanks, Sandy!) Join our team at iWon and play games! The Team Challenge at iWon puts Fandom Rocks in the running for a prize of $10,000. (Second and third place also win a good amount.) If Fandom Rocks were to win a prize, the money would go into the campaign fund not the administrative fund. Here are the FAQs from iWon on their Team Challenge:

How do I participate in the IWON Team Challenge?
Either Join a team from one of our National Charity Teams and help a national charity win $10,000 or create your own Member-Created Team and get your friends to help you win $10,000 for your favorite cause!

Who will win the IWON Team Challenge?
The teams with the most coins will win each month. At the end of each month there will be one $10,000 winner for the National Charity Teams and one $10,000 winner for the Member-CreatedTeams.

How do I earn coins for my Team?
All of the coins you earn after joining a Team are immediately added to your Team’s Coin balance. Best of all, you can still use those coins to enter Sweepstakes and advance on your IWON Game Boards!

Will I win the money if my Team wins the IWON Team Challenge?
No, IWON will send checks directly to the organizations, beneficiaries, or the Team Creators.

What are the limitations on earning coins for the contest?
You can earn up to 1,000,000 coins for playing Casino games, 200,000 coins for regular coin-awarding games, 20,000 coins from Ask Search, and 3,000 coins from using Tell-a-Friend. IWON reserves the right to disqualify any entries by persons or teams determined to be tampering with or abusing any aspect of the contest.

Thank you to everyone who voted on the by-laws. The poll closed Wednesday with all positive votes. The by-laws will become the guiding documents for Fandom Rocks.

Voting will be posted shortly after the nominations close. Understand we are asking for a commitment to Fandom Rocks for the next year to two years, depending on the position. We hope you will enjoy your role so much that you will stay longer!

If you need a refresher on the officer roles, you can review them in the by-laws on Google Documents.

As a part of the process of becoming a NFP, Fandom Rocks must create by-laws. We have produced a draft for review and voting. We hope you will take some time to review the information, send us your feedback, and then vote. Voting on the by-laws will continue until Wednesday, June 18th. At that time, if they have passed we will continue on with elections. If they have not passed we will review all feedback, incorporate them into the by-laws, and re-vote.

You can review the drafted by-laws on Google Documents.

As you review the by-laws, keep an eye on the officer roles. We will be holding nominations and elections immediately after the by-laws are passed.

  • Do you accept and approve the drafted by-laws as of 6/11/2008?
