Irvine, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/09/2010 -- Brides and grooms who can't wait until their wedding date to say "I Do" will be thrilled to learn about Larson Jewelers' Say iDo iPad and Tungsten Ring Giveaway (http://www.larsonjewelers.com/blog/say-ido-giveaway-ipad-tungsten-wedding-bands-team-up/). Larson Jewelers' latest giveaway offers a reprieve for soon-to-be newlyweds whose budgets are at a breaking point. The winner can plan his or her wedding at the swipe of a finger on a new iPad – and cross ring shopping off the list while admiring two new tungsten wedding bands. The contest starts April 8, 2010 and ends April 22, 2010.

"It's the ultimate wedding prize package," says John Larson, Founder of Larson Jewelers. "The iPad is the hottest new technology and there are a ton of useful wedding apps to check out," he says. "Since the winner will be spending all day with their new toy, they probably won't have time for ring shopping. So we tossed in two tungsten rings – a man's and a woman's," he adds. Any U.S. resident over the age of 18 can enter the contest.

Entering the contest is as easy as one-two-three. Participants get one entry for filling out the form on the Larson Jeweler contest page.

Grand Rapids, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/23/2010 -- In a recent article in the Winston-Salem Journal, it was reported that the Salvation Army and Goodwill both find their donation have dropped sharply in 2010 - just at a time when they're most needed.

It's a problem that being reported by charitable organizations all over the country, according to veteran financial advisor Dennis Tubbergen, which is why he has created the Immediate Legacy concept.

"Charities and Non-Profits are operating in the most difficult economic circumstances in modern time," according to Tubbergen. "In light of current economic conditions, charitable budgets and requests for help from charities have both increased - but donations have decreased."

Dennis Tubbergen understands that people from all walks of life are concerned about their investments these days, and are watching every dollar that they spend or donate.

That was the motivation behind the creation of the Immediate Legacy™ concept, which benefits both charities and donors.

Charities and non-profits have always been able to provide donors with the intangible benefit of knowing that they've helped others, and donors also often get a tax deduction for their contribution. But in times like these, when all charities provide those benefits - Tubbergen wanted to create a way for individual charities to stand out and offer true value to their donors.

The Immediate Legacy™ concept can do just that. It is a patent pending process that can provide exceptional value through generating an immediate donation to a charity, doing so at ZERO net cost to a charitable supporter and still giving the supporter an income tax deduction for the donation generated.

The concept doesn't work for every charity or every individual. For charities that are able to use the Immediate Legacy™ concept, however, they may be able to generate large cumulative donations from very small numbers of supporters. This concept is a way for charities to not only scrape by, but to exceed the needs of their communities.
