In my internet travels today I was introduced to a site unlike any I had seen before. I know there are a lot of charity sites, but this one was focused on providing help to classrooms and students. If you visit this Online Charity link you can visit this site, and see a list of school classrooms that you can donate to, with specific requests.
While there I decided to do a search on “New Jersey” and found quite a few requests for donations in classrooms in my home State. I liked doing that because I know the area, and can vouch for the fact that the schools are in needy areas. You may want to do the same.
It’s a unique concept to me, and something worth looking into especially now with school budgets being among many things that will feel the economic crunch.
Today I received an email from someone who is sponsoring a race for Breast Cancer in the South Jersey area at Six Flags Great Adventure I checked out the links, and went to the main site for the organization, and it appears to be a great cause, here’s the information…you may want to contact Robin before donating if you have any questions:
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and I am making a difference. I recently accepted the challenge to participate in the Race for the Cure at Six Flags Great Adventure on Sunday October 5, 2008. I hope you will join me in the in the fight against breast cancer. The more the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Central and South Jersey Affiliate can give back to fund vital breast cancer education and screening programs in our own community and support the national search for a cure.
