You can make a difference: Raise money for your favorite cause

Social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace make it easier than ever to share what you’re passionate about and expand your pool of supporters. And with PayPal, you can collect donations from your friends and family for the charities and causes you believe in.

MySpace and Facebook badges let you raise money using your PayPal account. It’s easy to get started:
