Mama Blogga tagged me for the Charity Meme.
The rules are simple, copy the list of charities and links (grab it from whomever tags you) and add your 5 favorite charities or non-profit organizations to the end (link to their sites with anchor text of the causes they champion). Of course finish things off by tagging 5 other webmasters/bloggers and then publishing the post or the webpage.
So here’s my list of charities — so hard to pick just five…
- The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation – children with AIDS
- Make a Wish Foundation – grant a child’s wish
- Save the Children – children in poverty
- Ronald McDonald House – helping sick children and families
- Toys for Tots – toys for all kids
And here’s the original list:
- LDS Humanitarian Services – donate to charity
- American Red Cross – emergency response
- Wasatch Homeless Health Care Incorporated/4th Street Clinic – health care for the homeless
- Newborns in Need – knitting for preemies
- Habitat for Humanity
- American Red Cross – disaster relief
- Raleigh Rescue Mission – homeless raleigh
- SOS Children’s Villages – sponsor a child
- Samaritan’s Purse – emergency relief programs
- St. Jude Children’s Hospital – cancer research
And I tag:
OT here, but: How did you get the revolving taglines?

PJ,
All my best charities are really local and I’m not geographically specific on my blog so…
Best,

THIS is a meme that I can support. Love the idea of showing some worth causes the love…
Great list!
I am a big fan of the Ronald McDonald house, even if their recent reaction to a breastfeeding mother was concerning. I’ve volunteered with them and almost used one of their houses…
So, I did in fact, consider myself tagged, as you said…

Thanks for the opportunity to tell people about some of these organizations.
