New York, NY (December 6, 2000) – Tucows Inc., the world’s leading wholesale domain name registrar through its Tucows OpenSRS registration service, today announced a holiday promotion that should contribute thousands of dollars to UNICEF.
Tucows will donate $1 to UNICEF for every 25 domain names registered, renewed or transferred by its customers in the month of December. Tucows’ customers include over 4,000 Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Internet Service Providers, Web hosting companies, Domain Name Resellers and others, in over 100 countries around the world.
Founded in 1946 to meet the urgent needs of children in war-devastated Europe, UNICEF has become the leading international organization working for the survival, protection and development of all children worldwide through education, advocacy and fundraising.
Tucows’ customers include over 4,000 Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Internet Service Providers, Web hosting companies, Domain Name Resellers and others, all over the world, including hundreds in China, Japan and Korea.

“Tucows has had tremendous success this year and we’d like give something back. UNICEF has done such great work for so many kids around the world,” said Dave Keating, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Tucows Inc. “It’s a perfect choice for us in particular because it has a presence in so many of our customers’ markets.”
The fund-raising began today and will run through December 31, 2000.
