Re: QOTD

  • ASPCA and Breast Cancer Awareness. Mostly ASPCA, though. I try to donate when it comes around and I also am looking forward to maybe hosting some fosters in the future.

  • I am pretty involved in outreach programs to the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Island territories and countries; I don't want to go into great detail, but we're focused on improving education at all levels in certain fields to build capacity and create jobs. We've seen some good stuff happen. It's the most rewarding work I've ever done.


  • Jim and I do the Whitman-Walker Clinic's (HIV/AIDS) and the National Epilepsy Foundation's fund raising walks each year.  For a zillion years, I've participated in Operation Christmas Child.  I will donate to Susan G. Komen or ALS Association (Mom) and American Lung Association or American Cancer Society (Dad) when I get a request.  Most of my local charity is done through my church (food pantry, school material drives, Salvation Army angels, etc.).

  • My brother-in-law started a charity, so I am most actively involved in his charity. I participate in all of the walks and volunteer when I'm visiting them. If I lived closer I would probably manage their finances as well. I'm trying to convince him to give me more to do through email.

    Otherwise, I usually donate to charities related to cancer, cystic fibrosis, Parkinson's, and alzheimer's research, because I have had friends or family member affected by these diseases.

  • I worked at a camp for kids with Type 1 diabetes, so JDRF (the juvenile diabetes research foundation) gets the majority of our donation.....  This year, Josh is training with his dad to rid in the MS-150 bike race to raise money for MS research.  We do operation Christmas child every year and volunteer whenever we can!

    Maybe we can train one day to do a run together and make a vacay out of it, katzblaze!!

  • Right now, I'm raising money and doing a walk for the American Diabetes Association.

    I am very passionate about gay rights, sun safety (anti-tanning beds, etc) and anti-violence organizations.

    Yes! I think you should totally come to the Northeast and I'll go walk, too.

  • In AK we were involved with Victims for Justice. I've always donated to St.Judes.

    We are adopting a senior through the Salvation Army for Christmas, as well as a Wounded Warrior family.

  • I feel like a slacker there is a lot we're interested in but I suck at execution when it comes to giving back. Way to go ladies!
