The Urban League Toolbar

You can help raise money for Urban League when you search the Internet!

Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis, inc. has recently subscribed to BenefitBar, a toolbar for Internet Explorer users that will be a benefit to Urban League. It is a great new communication and fund-raising tool. We have contracted with this company so that anyone may add a Urban League toolbar to any PC computer (home, office, etc.). The toolbar includes links to Urban League web site, a Yahoo search engine, and a scrolling message window.

The benefits will be twofold. First, any time you use the Yahoo search engine on the Urban League Benefit Bar, Urban League will be paid a small amount of money - the more Yahoo searches you conduct, the more Urban League benefits. The Yahoo search engine allows you to search the Internet for information while simultaneously raising funds for character education. Second, the scrolling message, which is automatically updated on your computer, will keep you connected to the activities of Urban League. We can use this scrolling tool to relay messages such as upcoming events, special character quotes or other important information. You may want to share this Yahoo bar with fellow educators, students, or anyone who wants to support character education.

You can install our benefit bar on your computer by clicking on the following link. The directions below may help.
