HERE ARE DETAILS OF A GREAT WEBSITE. WHERE EVERY TIME YOU CLICK A LINK THEY WILL DONATE MONEY TO A ****** CANCER CHARITY.THERE IS A LINK TO THE SITE AT THE FOOT OF THE PAGE.

 

www.TheBreastCancerSite.com

 

The ****** Cancer Site was founded to help fund free mammograms for women in need – women for whom early detection would not otherwise be possible. Since its launch in October 2000, the site has established itself as a leader in online activism and in the fight to prevent ****** cancer deaths.

 

The issue of ****** cancer is painfully close to many people’s hearts. Each year, 211,000 women are diagnosed with ****** cancer and 43,300 die. Almost everyone knows someone whose life has been affected by a ****** cancer diagnosis or that of a loved one. The ****** Cancer Site provides a feel-good way to help promote awareness and prevent ****** cancer deaths every day – through easy online activities.

 

With a simple daily click of the pink button at The ****** Cancer Site, visitors help provide mammograms to those in need. Visitors pay nothing. Mammograms are paid for by the site’s sponsors and distributed by the National ****** Cancer Foundation, Inc.

 

Access to mammography is a critical issue. ****** cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women ages 40 – 55. Early detection is the key to survival and better treatment options, and mammography is among the best-known methods of early detection, yet 13 million women in the U.S. over 40 have never had a mammogram.

 

In addition to clicking the pink “Click Here to Give – it’s FREE” button, visitors can make early detection and survival of ****** cancer possible by shopping in The ****** Cancer Site store. With each item purchased, shoppers generate funds for free mammograms for women in need. The store offers a wide array of items to show your support, including pink ribbon jewelry and apparel.

About the Owners of The ****** Cancer Site

 

Long-time environmental activists Tim Kunin and Greg Hesterberg met at the University of Michigan while working on the Michigan Bottle Bill ballot campaign in 1976. As enthusiastic supporters of The Hunger Site, they realized the power of providing busy Internet users with a fast, free and easy way to make a difference and launched EcologyFund.com to give people the means to support wilderness preservation efforts worldwide.

charity dispatch asked:


 

You may have heard of all sorts of ways to donate to charities, but not many people have thought of donating a car. When you donate a car to a charity, you are doing something great for the charity that you choose to donate to. It has also come to many people’s attention how donating to a charity can be used as a tax deduction.

 

Now, you may wonder how one goes about donating a car to charity. You can do so through companies like www.charitydispatch.com. Companies like Charity Dispatch do not donate your actual car to charity, rather they sell the car and the proceeds go to the charity of your choice. It is made simple, so you have no worries about the hassles it can cause when done yourself. If you aren’t sure which charity you would like to donate to, www.charitydispatch.com can help you figure it out. This option is perfect for those who are looking to get rid of a car or are having a hard time selling it. Instead of giving it to a scrap yard for a couple bucks, donate it to a great cause. Your car donation raises money for charities to support their services.

 

The process of donating the car is made simple with charitydispatch.com; all you have to do is give them a call anytime. They are open 24-7, so you will get in contact with a live agent every time. You won’t even have to worry about getting the car to the grounds because they will pick it up for you, no matter what condition it is in. So if you have a junk car that isn’t working, donate it to charity!

 

Most charity donation companies require you to bring the items you are donating, such as clothes, toys and furniture, which causes many people to turn to more convenient ways of getting rid of the stuff – dumping them on the curb for trash day. Charitydispatch.com understands that many people are unable to donate a car to charity because they are unable to deliver it. By making it easier for everyone to donate a car to charity, it helps more people to get involved and partake in the great cause.

Muna wa Wanjiru asked:


There are many people who like to help with charities. For these people it is good to know if the charity where they work is doing some good. This is where charity ratings can help. These ratings let people know how well the charity is performing. From these ratings you can get an idea if you want to help the charity.

One of the ways that you can find these charity ratings is from the internet. The various rating sites that you will find have information about some charities. From this information you will be able to see how the donations are spent. You will also get to see what charity work was accomplished.

The charity ratings inform donors about many other charities that are listed with them. From their sites the donors can check out the financial status of non profit charities. This is a great way to find legitimate charities.

You will find many different charity ratings that can provide this type of information. However if you are looking for a specific charity you might need to look at a few charity ratings. These rating sites can show you other worthwhile charities that you might want to help out. There are generally links to these charity sites.

A few of these charity ratings will deal with charities that are listed internationally. Others deal with the charities that you will find close to home. By looking at the charity rating of a charity that you know, you will get information about the way is spends your donations.

The charities that are shown on various charity ratings are ones that have given information to the charity rating site. This means that unless a charity is on the list you will need to find other sources to see their work progress. For this reason if you want to donate to a charity you might want to look at the charity ratings first.

There are some charity ratings that will provide donors with other information. From these organizations you can get tips on finding a good charity. There will be articles that will give you help with other aspects of charity support. These can range from answers about mailing-list appeals to tax benefits to protecting yourself from charity scams.

The number of items that you can find about charities with charity ratings makes this a useful service. By looking at the different ratings you can get an idea of how each charity is looked at by donors and the financial community. Charity ratings will also let you decide which charity to support.

Thursday, February 19th, 2009
peppamintgrl asked:


I have a whole bunch of almost new, GREAT condition stuffed animals. I want to give them to a charity that gives them to other needy children, not sells them (like Goodwill or Salvation Army). Is there a charity that passes out used stuffed animals to needy children? A tax-deductible charity would be nice, but any charity will do. I’m spring cleaning and I want to find a good use for my MANY toys. Thanks!
