A Better Community For All (ABC4All):
“Maximizing Charitable Contributions on
the Internet”
Directed Consumerism With Automatic
“TechnoGiving” (DCAT)
The
introductory concepts for ABC4ALL may be found here: http://ABC4All.net/ABC4All_intro.htm
A
demo site for ABC4All has been graciously hosted by Holistic Junction: http://www.holisticjunction.com/sites/abc4all
An
application submitted for the nomination of ABC4All for a Tech Museum Award
provides a detailed description of the resources and potential alliances that
can be implemented with the formalization of ABC4All/FABC: http://ABC4All.net/techawards.html
A
dramatic example has been offered to document the potential for harnessing the
internet to maximize internet-based charitable contributions:
LOOK AT WHAT IS POSSIBLE:
. 2000 People Support a Charitable Cause
by directing their consumer shopping to ABC4All's Internet Cooperative
each purchases $50 per week for 50 weeks a year
10% allocated as a rebate (up to 40% available)
50 weeks x $5 = $250 year-end tax deductible contribution
The 2000 people have now raised $500,000 in just one year!
ABC4All's Ultimate Matching eFUNdraising ProgramTM (UMEP)
in the future will DOUBLE that amount which will equal
$1,000,000 generated for your favorite cause!
This
example demonstrates what can happen with the ABC4All educational mission to
show people how to take advantage of the opportunities represented by E-Commerce
and the Internet. Any consumer purchase made on the internet NOT including an
automatically generated rebate which can be designated as a contribution to a
favorite charity is shortchanging society.
If
a consumer has a choice between two sites to which to surf and shop on the
internet, what would be the preferred route?
(A) A site where it is possible to generate a charitable contribution
based on the internet activity or (B) a site where such a charitable
contribution based on the internet activity is matched or doubled.
The obvious answer is (B): This is the mission of ABC4All.
PRELAUNCH
DEVELOPMENT
ABC4All executives have
been in development of strategies, projects, resources and key team people who
are have been demonstrating support of the ABC4All
mission. The
following prelaunch activities, among others, have been underway:
1.
The present White Paper developed for presentation to Holistic Junction (www.holisticjunction.com)
for consideration of a possible collaborative effort assisting the
implementation/expansion of our respective efforts.
2.
The resources from multiple projects that permit ABC4All to launch a nonprofit
effort, the Foundation of A Better Community For All (FABC).
3.
The securing by ABC4All, Inc. of the position of Philanthropic Development
Officer (PDO) with the National Heritage Foundation (www.nhf.org).
4.
The referrals of groups to achieve nonprofit status via ABC4All/NHF within a
matter of 1-2 business weeks with resultant earnings from NHF for ABC4All.
5.
Utilizing the combined resources of Nutrition and Kids (http://www.nutritionandkids.net/10982/)
and Holistic Junction (www.holisticjunction.com)
with ABC4All an authorized affiliate for both NAK/HJ: Among all activities
possible with NAK, consider creating a chiropractic focus for HJ. With the
initiation of such a focus, perhaps there may be a developed an alliance with
the newly formed Nutrition and Kids Chiropractic Association (NAKCA) with a
pooling of joint resources aimed at helping to make the goal of acquiring 100
chiropractors as charter members in NAKCA a reality.
6.
Creation of a plan of action/resources that will bring support to worthwhile
causes such as Little Kids Rock (LKR) www.littlekidsrock.org
and A Minor Consideration (www.minorcon.org).
The
combined resources at the disposal of ABC4All, together with the potential of
and including, but not limited to, the above existing activities which are
pending their being harnessed into a joint, common and excellent effort that
will launch respective interests that surround the concepts of ABC4All offer the
opportunity for implementing a vital coordinated plan of action.
A
profoundly moving piece by Oprah Winfrey detailing her tour of Africa was
featured on a recent ABC News PrimeTime:
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/Primetime/Entertainment/oprah_africa_031217-1.html
The
need that exists, whether in Africa or here at home regarding issues such as the
overweight problem in our country (NAK) are such that there must be a combined
pooling of resources to "make it a better community for all." Oprah
has not allowed the overwhelming nature of what she encounters in Africa to
prevent her from finding her way to make a difference. While there is much to do
in our own backyard in USA, the existing issues so deftly pointed out by Oprah
in Africa simply carry the message:
WE
MUST ACT, NOT DELAY, ANY FURTHER.
HOLISTIC
JUNCTION AND ABC4All:
We
invite HJ principals consideration
for the joining of forces of ABC4All and Holistic Junction. The respective
missions and points of view of both appear wholly compatible, as noted above n
the ABC4All mission and in this statement from http://www.holisticjunction.com/whoweare.cfm:
Holistic
Junction
is a unique web-based community of people and businesses from all around the
globe who aspire to and believe in positive spirituality, higher consciousness,
healthy living and environmental awareness.
The
following can take place with the launch of ABC4All:
1.
ABC4All, Inc. can become an affiliate of HJ.
2.
ABC4All, Inc., in its future role as PDO for NHF, can help HJ create its
foundation/nonprofit focus.
3.
ABC4All, Inc., as representative for Nutrition and Kids (http://www.nutritionandkids.net/10982/)
can create an affiliation between HJ and NAK.
4.
The three entities then can participate in the current wave of
fundraising about to take place across the country with the NAK CD-ROM game
focusing on good nutrition habits. This affords an opportunity to create funding
for schools and nonprofits simultaneously across the USA.
5.
There is possibility for generating memberships by chiropractors in BOTH
NAKCA and HJ.
Perhaps
Holistic Junction can consider offering a focus that will include the future
hosting of content introduced by ABC4All, for example, Dr. Robert O. Young’s
pH Miracle: http://www.thephmiracle.us,
Dr. Young is bringing to our awareness: Vital information on Diabetes,
the capability for total healing of this rampant disease.
HJ
can consider offering Health Care Providers a newsletter or E-zine (perhaps
weekly editions). Creation of key "meta-tags" for “The New
Biology” information will help send the reader, viewer or research party to
the HJ site when seeking information on or from the internet. By placing those
meta-tag words onto the hosted HJ site, Google or other search engines can index
the site and create a link to that website or to subdirectory page(s) in the
holistic junction framework.
The
content will contain approximately two pages of text and allow for a consistent
writer contribution with feedback solicited from the audience at HJ. By adding
the ABC4All/Robert O. Young component, to include the information about “The
New Biology” and its efficacy at eradicating diseases such as diabetes we
would co-create and co-host pages making it easy to navigate via the web link to
Holistic Junction. A casual review of the pH Miracle web site reveals the
critical information that needs maximum exposure for those earnestly seeking
disease reversal.
Can
HJ consider a way for visitors to sign up for an ongoing mailing list (e.g.,
with a focus on disease-prevention or disease reversal):
Such permission marketing would allow our client, Dr. Robert O. Young and
his team of associates to become a central feature within the HJ site, allowing
us to acquire the email addresses of those who, for example, would like to see
the development of a clinic within local travel distance.
This
type of audience generation and opportunity for feedback can complement content
already in place at: http://www.thephmiracle.us.
By
allowing ABC4All and HJ to join forces, it is envisioned that the content of
both sites can stimulate a membership that will have at its disposal vital
information both for the pursuit of health, disease prevention and/or disease
reversal all the while becoming educated as to the making use of the internet
for the general betterment of society.
By
joining together, the combined forces of HJ/ABC4all may demonstrate for a client
such as Dr. Robert O. Young, that the health focus may also be complemented via
the A Better Community For All/Holistic Junction’s support of eFUNndraising™
available to all consumers on the internet once ABC4All is established. Vendors
such as Dr. Young’s “Innerlight, Inc.” and associated products would
become part of the global effort to stimulate charitable contributions resulting
from every consumer purchase on the internet.
A
NATURAL DISCOVERY: THERMO-PEUTIC®
FOR TOTAL BODY THERAPY
Recently
ABC4All’s Founder, Burton Danet, experienced an unexpected medical crisis
during a van ride: Lightheadness occurred followed by total right-sided body
numbness. This phenomenon was later identified as a nonhemorrhagic stroke that
which occurred in the left pontine brainstem. Following this event, housekeeping
staff at Manhattan Beach Residence Inn by Marriott not only assisted Burton
Danet up to his suite, but later delivered information about infra-red therapy
available locally on a daily basis (FREE!) at a center offering Ceragem Therapy
(www.ceragem.com).
Infra-red
therapy had actually been prior recommended by multiple sources, including
several physicians, and a referral had been made to investigate Anodyne Therapy
(www.anodyne.com).
The latter, it was determined, was body-part specific and NOT total body
infra-red therapy. Ceragem, in contract was TOTAL
body infra-red therapy, and among the benefits suggested was the increase in
production of nitric oxide (which produces greater oxygen content and improved
blood circulation and better bodily toxic elimination/cleansing).
As a result of the housekeeping staff’s referral to Ceragem treatment, both Burton Danet and his wife, Marsha Danet, attended therapy for two weeks. During the latter few days of this period of treatment, the distributor chose to change his therapy beds from Ceragem to Cignet beds. The advances in delivery of total body therapy proved to be so beneficial and preferable to the prior treatment, that a Case Report was created, and consultations have been initiated with the distributor of the Cignet beds, David Lee, to discuss potential for sharing information about the Cignet therapy and to create distributorships in multiple locations.

EXAMPLE
OF INTERNET FUNDRAISING:
OFFERING
OF A GOLF TOURNAMENT
As
visitors visit the splash page of HJ, they may access a subdirectory describing
the Golf Tournament forthcoming at the WELK RESORT in Escondido, Ca. on
March
26 and 27, 2004, Friday and Saturday, with event kick-off at 8 a.m. for the 144
early bird golfers. Meanwhile there
is a parallel Virtual Golf Tournament, also hosted by Dr. Young and his team,
including Robert Chew, Korky Nelson, Sergio Gonzales, and. Jack Dawson, Attorney
for Sergio and Dr.Young (based in San Jose, California).
The
virtual golf may be viewed here including free trial/learning of the golf
tournament: http://www.goldenfairway.com/muse
Perhaps we can create ideas to utilize the virtual golf game that can become
another example of eFUNdraising™.
