CampusBookRentals.com supports The children of Operation Smile!

Campus book Rentals is ecstatic to announce that they are participating in the 2011 Making a Difference Program. They have officially teamed up with Operation Smile, an out of this world, awesome organization, that performs life changing cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it. The long term improvement in quality of life for the children that receive these surgeries is almost incomprehensible. They have committed to donating enough to cover a minimum of 1,000 life changing surgeries. They hope to beat that number, but it's a significant commitment.

So for EVERY book rented starting now, they will donate a portion of those proceeds to Operation Smile with their sights set on meeting and exceeding our goal of 1,000 lives changed. So add that extra book to your cart, and consider this goal as you go back to school this year. Thank you for your support.

Simple Help - Japan!

Most of us can't fathom the devastation Japan has experienced following the March 11th earthquake and tsunami. At SIMPLE, our thoughts immediately went to the mothers impacted by this disaster. While we tuck our children into bed at night there are many mothers in Japan without a bed to offer their children, or worse.

We would like to encourage all of our readers to help where you can -- whether through thoughts and prayers or donations for those in need. One company who has already found a way to lend a hand is W+K Studio. They have designed a poster for purchase to aid in the relief effort. All net proceeds from the $25 poster will be donated to the Red Cross*

In a disaster the Red Cross is quick to step in and offer those in need care and hope. Whether it is formula for a hungry infant or shelter for a misplaced family, the Red Cross provides the necessities that many mothers can't offer their family during this trying time.

*The poster was designed independent of the Red Cross -- and donations made through purchases are not tax deductible.

Mothers understand mothers...wherever you live. The moms at SIMPLE send our thoughts and prayers to all the mothers and families impacted by this horrible tragedy.
