Ford PTSA Amazon ShoppersAmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to support Ford every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection, and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to Ford Middle School. To sign-up go to smile.amazon.com, and when asked for your charity, enter PTA Texas Congress 202 W E Pete Ford Middle PTA. Then, the next time you want to shop Amazon, go to smile.amazon.com instead of the plain Amazon site (same site, just different URL).
