US Bankcard Services, Inc. (USBSI) Accomplished the Donation Campaign for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Research

City of Industry, CA (PRWEB) May 17, 2011

Rather than passively donating a sum to the PBTF, USBSI reached out to involve the public by pledging to donate $ 1 for every person who added themselves as a fan on USBSIs Facebook Page between February 1 and April 30, 2011. The donation campaign attracted 4,485 fans who liked and shared this noble cause. Stories of children with brain tumors and their families posted on USBSI page also encouraged and inspired many. TakeCharge.com, a social action network site, picked up the story and posted the campaign on its website enabling more people to participate.

The PBTF has been working since 1991 to help children afflicted with brain tumors. The foundation is working hard to eradicate the deadliest form of childhood cancer. The PBTF is the worlds largest source of funding for pediatric brain tumor research. It also offers support to patients and their families with educational literature and college scholarships.

Chris Chang, president of USBSI, explained the companys compassion behind the donation campaign. Just as important as any monetary contribution we make is to increase the awareness, even if by just a few people that is brought to the cause. Facebook is our means of accomplishing both goals this year. We hope more voices will lead more people to learn more about the PBTFs great work and extend their helping hands.

USBSIs support is much appreciated, said Dianne Traynor, PBTF president and chairman of the board. This unique fundraiser not only generated dollars that will support valuable research, but also raised public awareness about brain tumors and their impact on children and families, Traynor said. We thank US Bankcard Services, Inc. and all those who joined this effort to help the kids.

USBSI Facebook Page can be found by searching keyword USBSI on Facebook. For more information about the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation

CPS Insurance Services Supports Long Term Care Awareness Month

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

This November, CPS Insurance Services (CPS) raises awareness about the importance of Long Term Care (LTC) Insurance, and how it impacts the financial future of millions of Americans.

According to the LIFE Foundation, about 70% of people over the age of 65 will require some sort of Long Term Care during their lifetime. Many assume that LTC is paid for by their Health Insurance Plan or Medicare, when this is often not the case.

Currently, LTC services in a hospital, nursing facility or at home can cost upwards of $ 75,000 a year. A lifetime of retirement savings could easily be depleted in only a few short years. Additionally, the emotional and physical strain placed on family members caring for a loved one can be overwhelming. LTC Insurance protects retirement assets, as it covers the cost of treatment if one develops a chronic illness or becomes disabled and is unable to care for himself/herself for an extended period of time; it also provides families with the peace of mind knowing their loved one is being cared for in a comfortable setting.

Long Term Care Awareness Month is a great reminder to families to discuss proper planning and the possibility of needing extended care, said Peter Holden CEO of CPS Insurance Services. Families should plan for their future and decide what type of care is necessary in order to maintain the standard of living they are accustomed to.

LTC Insurance should be purchased while young and healthy to ensure a lower premium. Once you obtain coverage, your premium cost is set and cannot be increased unless it impacts an entire class of policy holders, said Terese Chanel, Long Term Care Sales and Marketing Manager for CPS. The cost of premium is usually far less than the out-of-pocket expenses one would pay for Long Term Care services.

Providers of CareOne Debt Relief Services Launch Debt Free U, Helping College Students Chart Financial Waters

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) August 19, 2009

College students and young consumers across the country now have access to education and financial tools designed expressly for their needs. This 100% free, non-commercial portal launched today, just in time for the start of a new school semester.

Debt Free U empowers young adults to master money management during this critical stage in their lives. With a full range of interactive tools and practical information on the issue that matters most to young consumers, Debt Free U helps college students face tough financial decisions with confidence. Online calculators, an extensive resource guide and blogs with the latest information help students cut through the financial jargon and get clear, simple information on how they can control their debt.

Additionally, Debt Free U established social media websites including Facebook, Myspace and Twitter @DebtFreeU, to establish ongoing dialogue with the students and young consumers utilizing the site's resources.

Now more than ever, students need education and support to establish smart money management habits. According to a national study conducted by Sallie Mae, one of the nation's largest student loan providers, the average college student carries more than $ 3,000 in credit card debt on at least four credit cards, and close to one fifth of seniors carry balances of more than $ 7,000.

"College is a huge milestone for young people and the financial responsibilities incurred can seriously damage a student's financial health well beyond graduation," says Clarky Davis, CareOne Services' spokesperson. "With college tuition, rent, books and credit cards, it's no wonder so many college students find themselves in debt."

Having helped over 4.5 million people with their debt, CareOne Providers know that debt problems can happen to anyone. Too often, good financial management is a lesson that occurs too late in life and learned through personal hardship. Fortunately, some of these hardships can be alleviated with improved money management skills and by making informed financial decisions. CareOne wants to help consumers before the problem gets out of hand.

Caribbean Search Engine Optimization And Website Marketing Services

(PRWEB) January 12, 2005

Did you know that in excess of 85% of people find websites through the search engines? Forget radio ads, newspaper ads, billboards, TV ads etc. For a small fee you can be found on Google, Yahoo and MSN for a much longer lifespan than that of any newspaper advertisement.

SEO or search engine optimization is the art of using the search engines to market your website to a target audience and then to convert that audience to customers when they find your website. It's not rocket science, but in order to market your website sufficiently well to the major search engines, you have to know what you are doing.

Webpositionexpert is spearheading this industry in the Caribbean region. Visit their site at http://www.webpositionexpert.com for more details. One of the unique services that they offer is a free (and it is totally free - no strings attached) website analysis which is done by hand and mailed to you.

Everyone who fills in their details at ww.webpositionexpert.com/contact.php receives a free and comprehensive website analysis - this report includes positioning reports, keyphrase analysis, inbound links and a test to see if your site is indexed on the major search engines.

The CEO, Simon Skinner said "not many things in life are truly free, but our website analysis is one of them". He went on to say "We like to give something to people, we think it is a fairly novel idea and companies have been very responsive to the report and to our list of services. We do not have a 'one size fits all' approach. Each of our clients is unique".

He added "A managed web site optimization service by Web Position Expert removes the stress and hassle of dealing with your web site when really you want to be concentrating on your core business. Some people achieve a top 10 placement in major search engines with their web site and yet fail to get genuine results.
