 Greetings!

It's March Madness at the Miami Winter Music Conference and NextAid will be there for its 8th year! For those of you unfamiliar with WMC '09, it's a 6 day event with 250+ parties and events.  Sure, it's a crazy fun time with great music and great people, but NextAid's there to bring some social consciousness to it!  NextAid will be participating in panels on Green Initiatives and Social/Political Awareness. For those of you who can't make it out to Miami, don't fret, there are still other ways that you can be involved with helping create sustainable solutions to the AIDS orphan pandemic. We understand that times are financially difficult, but there are simple ways that you can help out NextAid, like donating your time, using We-Care.com for any purchase of goods or services, promoting NextAid online, or creating a benefit event. Every little effort makes a difference!

Thank you for reading!

Coast II Coast Entertainment has committed to book their artists' travel expenses through NextAid's We-Care.com plug-in!  Follow Coast II Coast's example and see how simple it is to channel your "already-going-to-be-purchased" travel and shopping expenses through We-Care.com so that NextAid can benefit!  There is no additional cost to you and your company.  All you have to do is take a few moments to download the plug-in at nextaid.we-care.com and then you can continue your business normally.  But because of your small effort, every time you make a purchase from one of We-Care.com's 700+ partners, you will be helping an amazing cause. 
It's simple. 
Harness your everyday activities towards creating a tangible difference for children half-way around the world.
