By Marcie BarnesHello - I wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you to my blog. I started creating it last month as soon as I saw that it was an assignment for the class I am taking because I have already had the difficult experience of setting up two other blogs from scratch, and wanted to get a head start. Then I got carried away :). To learn more about me and this blog please visit the About Me page.
By the way, any revenue generated from this blog will be donated to charity, and I need your help deciding which one. I would like for it to be something health-related, and of course charities like JDRF or The American Cancer Society come to mind, but I was wondering if there are organizations concentrating more on prevention than finding a cure? If you have any suggestions, please post them in the comments. Enjoy!
One idea for any funds you raise: the March of Dimes. I know it's not trendy (I even slipped the other night and called it the March of Dames), but it does seem to focus on prevention.
ReplyDeleteI haven't researched its overhead (how much goes to staff vs. how much goes to research and education efforts), but some people I respect at my daughter's school are working hard to raise money for it.
And because it's not trendy, it's also not very controversial.
Thanks Andria! I will look into that...
