Rappahannock Big Brothers and Big Sisters Selects INSIGNeA

LOS GATOS, CA -- January 28, 2009 – Charlton Commerce Inc., the leader in managing online web stores for Nonprofit organizations, today announced that Rappahannock Big Brothers and Big Sisters has selected Charlton Commerce to manage their online storefront. Under terms of the agreement, signed in January of 2009, Charlton Commerce will manage the organization’s storefront to sell high quality logo embroidered apparel to their supporters.

“We are very proud to be able to assist Rappahannock Big Brothers and Big Sisters in its fundraising activities.” said Bert Rankin, CEO of Charlton Commerce. “Organizations like this play a very important role in educating the youth of our country.”

Rappahannock Big Brothers Big Sisters is a nonprofit agency serving the City of Fredericksburg and the counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George and Caroline. They are a fully affiliated member agency of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America - the nation's premiere mentoring movement which has promoted positive youth development for over 100 years. Like many organizations Rappahannock Big Brothers and Big Sisters considered setting up an online store to sell logo embroidered apparel on their own. But they quickly found out that due to the expense and time commitment involved it required too much effort and would significantly distract them from providing mentors to children. However, an Insignea online store, managed by Charlton Commerce was exactly the answer that they needed. It allows them to get the benefit of a fully stocked online store without having to worry about managing the technical infrastructure, billing, inventory, shipping or handle customer support. Insignea stores allow any club, association or business to quickly and easily launch and maintain an online store front that generates funds to support their cause. “We have a track record of successfully working with over 200 Non Profit organizations. Within days we can get a store setup and generating substantial funds through the sale of a wide range of range of high quality, logo embroidered apparel. ” Rankin stated. From the point of view of the organizations we partner with, we provide a valuable fundraising service with minimal effort and no distractions.
