Groupon has a bunch of online, doesn’t-matter-where-you-live deals today and when you make a Groupon purchase today through Mrs. Moneysaver, 8% of the purchase price will go to a special cause.
You see, there’s a family in the Washington, DC area who just lost their little baby boy to cancer. (You can read their story here.) A flat 8% of each Groupon sold goes to this family to support their efforts to fight pediatric cancer. As a mom, this is a cause I can certainly get behind.
To get the offers and help this family fight pediatric cancer, visit Groupon, sign-in or sign-up, then select the city that’s listing the deal you want from the drop-down list of cities at the top of the Groupon site. Since all of these are online deals, you don’t need to live in the listing city to take advantage of the offer.
If you are planning to buy your local city’s Groupon offer of the day, you can also make your purchase here and help the family.

Dana, thanks so much for highlighting the story of sweet Declan. We’ve been following their story since his diagnosis and just can’t imagine what they and other families with pediatric cancer are dealing with. :( They’re also going to be on the Today Show this morning if anyone is interested in learning more.
