Amazon is one of the most widely used websites in the world—you probably use it yourself for everything from dish soap to electronics. But did you know, that Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchase to the charity of your choice?  

If you are already planning to do your back-to-school shopping on Amazon, or if you’re looking for the perfect gift for a loved one, we invite you to shop at smile.amazon.com and choose CyArk as your charity of choice. Below you can read about how to use Amazon Smile.
