BEFORE SFAC · THE WE-CARE YEARS

Even more winners, long before SFAC

Before there was SweepsForACause by Giving Forward, Kevin Lee ran the sweepstakes under We-Care, with even more winners.

The Bensons chose Save the Children as their cause in the We-Care cause-marketing sweeps. We-Care had already generated more than $600,000 for nonprofits, and Save the Children received an extra $12,000 donation on top.
