Bethesda, MD (PRWeb) December 1, 2006 -- The National Foundation for Cancer Research (NFCR) announced today that they have created a new partnership that allows supporters to help raise money by doing their shopping online through iGive.com, the first online charity shopping mall. iGive.com enables individuals to shop online at over 600 reputable stores and simultaneously support any cause they wish, such as NFCR. Up to 26% or more of every purchase is donated to the selected cause at no extra cost to shoppers or causes.

"iGive.com is an excellent and easy way to raise funds for the fight against America's number one killer--cancer. Many of our supporters already shop online and now they can use that purchasing power to help NFCR's research programs," commented Franklin C. Salisbury, Jr., president of NFCR.

Early 1900s Los Angeles Building And Construction Shaped City's History
The city of Los Angeles stayed within its original 30 square-mile area until the 1890s. The first large additions to the city were the counties of Highland Park and Garvanza to the north, and the South Los Angeles area. In 1906, the consent of the Port of Los Angeles and a change in state law allowed the city to annex the Harbor Gateway, a thin strip of land leading from Los Angeles towards the port. San Pedro and Wilmington were incorporated in 1909, and the city of Hollywood was added in 1910, bringing the city up to 90 square miles. Also added that year were the cities of Colegrove and Cahuenga, as well as part of Los Feliz.
