Charities that matter to me

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…

1. The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation – children with AIDS
2. Make a Wish Foundation – grant a child’s wish
3. Save the Children – children in poverty
4. Ronald McDonald House – helping sick children and families
5. Toys for Tots – toys for all kids

And here’s the original list:

1. LDS Humanitarian Services – donate to charity
2. American Red Cross – emergency response
3. Wasatch Homeless Health Care Incorporated/4th Street Clinic – health care for the homeless
4. Newborns in Need – knitting for preemies
5. Habitat for Humanity
6. American Red Cross – disaster relief
7. Raleigh Rescue Mission – homeless raleigh
8. SOS Children’s Villages – sponsor a child
9. Samaritan’s Purse – emergency relief programs
10. St. Jude Children’s Hospital – cancer research
