End of Year Giving

Generally I don't wait until the last minute to make sure and donate to worthy organizations, but somehow this year just flew by. There is only one day left to make sure and donate this year. I would love to give more, but want to make sure and give something.

So here is a reminder to make sure and donate a little to a group that is doing something that you believe in. A little goes a long way...you still have a whole day left for 2011!

Some organizations I give to:

Environmental
1. Galapagos Conservancy - My husband and I were lucky enough to be able to visit the Galapagos, an amazing place that definitely needs conserving!
2. World Wildlife Fund - an organization that strives to save wildlife around the globe

Children in Need
3. Childfund - supporting children with the highest needs around the world
4. Smile Train - supporting doctors who donate their time for cleft palate surgeries in underserved countries.

Cancer Research
5. Hockey Fights Cancer - The NHL partners with the players to fight cancer
6. Melanoma Research Foundation - trying to find ways to educate and cure skin cancer
7. American Cancer Society - Sponsor of the Relay for Life event, a great community fundraiser inthe fight against cancer

Hunger & Health
8. Give a Meal - Right now your donation is being matched 3:1, so $15 means 120 meals
9. Partners in Health - Helping the poor find health care
10. Nothing but Nets - Buying nets for those that need them to combat malaria

Other

11. Hosparus - supporting dignity in end of life

12. Peace Corps Panama - donating to local peace corps projects

13. KCLU - Have to support my local NPS station, as I listen every day!
