Milwaukee, WI, September 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Supporters of the Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer Fund (The MACC Fund) have a new and exciting way to help fund childhood cancer research by texting a small donation using their cell phones. Donors are invited to text the word “CURE” to 52000 on their mobile phones. The text message will automatically provide a one time $10 donation to MACC. The mobile giving program is launching in September 2010, which is also Cure Childhood Cancer Month. The MACC Fund’s goal is to raise $10,000.
