TORRANCE, Calif., July 22 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Neotrope, a California based marketing firm, recently “adopted” Children Awaiting Parents and the Starlight Children’s Foundation. To celebrate, throughout July 2010 as part of the adoption program, when a donor gives $50 or more to either charity they will have the opportunity to issue a free national online press release through Neotrope’s Send2Press® Newswire service, which is syndicated worldwide and also appears on many top news sites and social networks in the Neotrope News Network, which generates over 15 million page views per month.

“Small businesses can exercise their need for corporate social responsibility while also helping important children’s charities, and also promote the company, products, or brand,” said Neotrope CEO, Christopher Laird Simmons; a member of PRSA and ASCAP. “Not just business can participate: an individual can promote a book, blog, music CD, or whatever newsworthy event. All money goes entirely to the charity, and nothing comes to us. We’re providing the service free as a reward for helping us promote and raise awareness of these wonderful charities helping kids throughout the U.S.”

Donors who choose to make a contribution of $100 or more will have the option to choose other Send2Press services at a discount (such as $100 off of a nationwide Direct-to-Editors™ targeted media blitz). Neotrope’s Send2Press services can be utilized no sooner than 3 working days from the confirmed date of the donation and no later than October 1, 2010 (subject to all terms/limitations). No money goes to Neotrope, and all donations are handled by each charity.

Donors will have until July 31 to make a qualifying donation at either or both of the following special pages, set-up on each of the charity’s sites:
