New Website Trips4Fundraising.com Supports Nation’s Nonprofit Organizations and Participates in Oscars Events in LA

Seattle, WA, Feb. 27, 2009 — Oro Azul LLC has launched Trips4Fundraising.com, an expansion of the fundraising program for U.S. non-profit organizations started in 2005. Trips4Fundraising provides non-profit organizations with tailored luxury vacation packages for fundraising events benefiting the organizations' programs and missions.

Trips4fundraising founder, Alyssa Johnson, promoted their services to celebrities at pre Oscar events in Bel Air and at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. A Silent travel auction was also organized to benefit the Melanoma Reasearch Foundation. Celebrity participation included Stephen Baldwin, Dominique Swain from "Lolita", Anna Lynne McCord from "90210", Benito Martinez from "The Shield", among many others. More info on the Oscars events is available at http://trips4fundraising.wordpress.com

Services available through Trips4Fundraising include travel insurance, entire turnkey travel auctions for non-profit events, and custom vacation packages to be offered year round to members and supporters of participating organizations. Trips4Fundraising makes a difference by providing charities with a unique risk-free fund-raising solution.

Trips4Fundraising offers carbon neutral trips and carbon offsetting for travelers. Non profits can select vacations that have carbon offsets making it possible for travelers to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions they are responsible for, such as product manufacturing and transportation, by reducing or displacing the CO2 in another place, such as reducing the use of fossil fuels used for power. Carbon Offsets can include renewable energy like wind and solar power, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects.

By offering Carbon Offsets and Green Tags, Trips4Fundraising through Sustainable Travel International is making it possible for travelers to offset or compensate for their emissions and contribute to the reduction of climate-altering activities.

Founder of Oro Azul LLC and Trips4Fundraising, Alyssa Johnson, is thrilled to expand her social entrepreneurial services by continuing to support much needed causes such as environmental conservation, medical research, and education across the country. Recent clients include the Sundance Film Festival, Guide Dogs for the Blind and Boston University, to name a few.

Trips4Fundraising offers exciting luxury trips to popular destinations in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America, and Mexico. This venture is a triple bottom line business (people, profit, planet), meaning that where possible, Trips4Fundraising works to improve the lives of people in communities and the environment both locally and internationally.
