Retailer Fundraising:  You can have retailers make donations to Iron Academy at no cost to you! Be sure that grandparents, relatives, and friends are also connected to Iron Academy through these retailers.  Whenever you shop at AMAZON, instead of going to the website amazon.com, always go instead to SMILE.AMAZON.COM and connect to Iron Academy as your preferred nonprofit organization. Your prime membership and prices are the same.  Then every purchase you make from this version of Amazon's website results in a 0.5% donation of your purchase amount.  Click or scroll on your phone to the Retailer Fundraising tab above for more information on getting donations through Harris-Teeter, Lowes food, BoxTops, Shoparoo app, Teach Me store, and Office Depot/Office Max.
