Charities that matter to me

Tuesday, 22 May 2007 Comments »

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:

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…
