The Chesapeake Bayhawks Partners with CauseNetwork, Championing An Innovative Fundraising Initiative for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

    ANNAPOLIS, VA, May 03, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Chesapeake Bayhawks are excited to announce their new fundraising partnership with CauseNetwork, working together to raise funds for the Bayhawks' designated cause, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). CauseNetwork will stand up a shopping website for supporters of The Bayhawks and JDRF to make online purchases from select retailers at a discount. Every purchase automatically generates a donation from the retailer back to JDRF. Powered by CauseNetwork's non-profit fundraising platform, fans of the Bayhawks are invited to register at a dedicated website, www.BayhawksCare.com and venture through the web portal to shop for discounts at over 1,000 merchants, including Priceline, Walmart, REI and more.

"CauseNetwork was built with the needs and oftentimes limited resources of a charitable organization in mind," says Glen Gulyas, co-founder of CauseNetwork, adding, "We create and host an online commerce platform for organizations like the Bayhawks who wish to sponsor causes like JDRF. This non-profit fundraising platform is particularly beneficial because CauseNetwork offers it at no cost to the non-profit. We also give the merchants a philanthropic opportunity by having them commit to making a donation directly back to the Bayhawks JDRF initiative for each online transaction."

Spokesman for the Bayhawks adds, "The Chesapeake Bayhawks are not only a championship winning team on the field, we champion worthy causes off the field. Our latest initiative is with the shopping website, BayhawksCare.com. In addition to opening up an online shopping website for Bayhawks and JDRF supporters, this Sunday May 3, 2015 there will be a game day giveaway of a branded water bottle. The Bayhawks have also implemented a promo code for fans and supporters. We are willing to offer our $15 Single game ticket to anyone and for every ticket sold through the promo code, the Bayhawks will Donate $3 directly to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The promo code will be JDRF2015 and can be purchased by following this link: CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE BAYHAWKS TICKETS
