You are cordially invited to join the unofficial “Buffett Booster Club” today – and you don’t need billions to leave a mark of your own.

From coast to coast, from the New York Daily News to the San Francisco Chronicle, the media is buzzing with stories about Warren Buffett’s magnanimous donation to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As Mr. Buffett states, "Huge fortunes that flow in large part from society, should, in large part, be returned to society.”

Much like that proverbial shot heard round the world, Buffett’s billion dollar gift will touch the lives of millions of individuals from around the globe. It will be used to enhance and expand the already internationally recognized work of the Gates Foundation including “fighting such diseases as malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis.”

Buffett and his family foundation have long been visionaries around issues of family planning and reproductive health. The Gates Foundation has shown America what real disease-fighting-commitment looks like on an international scale. And other foundations, like the UN Foundation and OSI, have been courageous leaders as well.

Yet, the point that should not be lost in all this generosity and excitement is – you don’t need to make a billion dollar donation to improve the reproductive lives of many. Think little ‘ole you can’t make a difference, think again. Here are just a few ways your dollars can touch the lives of many:

• $300, about $25 a month, supplies 12-months of birth control pills to 1 woman;
• $240 , about $20 a month, provides an IUD for 1 woman;
• $180, about $15 per month, covers a year’s worth of Depo-Provera for 1 woman;
• $90 to $150 offers a low-income woman an annual exam complete with cancer and STD screenings;
• $37 buys 100 stamps to help your favorite pro-choice organization spread the word about the importance of reproductive health care;
• $25 affords emergency contraception for 1 woman after 1 encounter of unprotected sex;
• $1 can purchase 1 condom or can be used to support free condom give aways at your local family planning center.

Don’t wait to win the lottery, join the unofficial Buffett Booster Club today and begin to create your own legacy for tomorrow. By simply changing the world for one woman, one man, or one youth, you too – like the Buffetts and Gateses – will change the world in which you live.
