Press Release Summary = Fans of Stefanie Powers are raising money for charity simply
by shopping online.

Press Release Body = Towson, MD- For many families, having extra money to donate to
charitable causes during the holiday is impossible. But one group of givers has
found a way to raise money for their favorite cause just by doing their holiday
shopping online. Fans of Stefanie Powers best known for her work on the television
show Hart to Hart, have been raising money for Powers\' non-profit organization, The
William Holden Wildlife Foundation by shopping online. Supporters of the foundation
are able to shop for everything from arts and crafts to yoga and Pilates products,
and everything in between including books, DVD\'s, gardening items, jewelry and toys.
Each time someone shops through the specially designed website, the retail
establishment pays a referral fee or commission that goes to the Foundation.

The Foundation has been instrumental in carrying out the late actor\'s work in animal
conservation in Kenya, Africa. The goals of the Foundation include education on the
important role animals play in the balance of nature, and to research and implement
strategies that protect and grow endangered animal populations. The Foundation has
been successful in re-introducing the nearly extinct bongo back to its native Kenya
35 years after Holden began the work of preserving and breeding the bongo in U.S.
zoos.

Nancy Dugan, a long time fan and friend of Ms. Powers, runs the fan-based
fundraising effort that has included a variety of events including auctions of
memorabilia, spare change drives, and shopping through the stefaniepowers.org
website. Since organizing fundraising efforts for the Foundation in 2003, Ms. Dugan
and the fans of Stefanie Powers have raised nearly $70,000 for the William Holden
Wildlife Foundation.

You can help continue William Holden\'s work in wildlife conservation by shopping now
