As the voting gets closer to a close, I wanted to provide you an easy read on what the two leading charities in our poll have as their mission statements. I encourage you to take a read and see which seems like the best suited charity to receive the Giants donation after the Tucson Shootout.

In no particular order:

Children of Fallen Soldiers (A US Charity):

http://www.cfsrf.org/


The Children of Fallen Soldiers Relief Fund was founded, October 23, 2003 to help support surviving U.S. Military children who have lost a parent in the Afghanistan or Iraq wars by providing them with College Grants.

Our College Grant Program has been expanded to include both U.S. Military children and spouses who have either lost a loved one as a result of the Afghanistan or Iraq wars or have a severely disabled parent or spouse who was injured during a deployment to either war.

Our second objective is to help the surviving members of these families with financial assistance. Our goal is to make awards to applicants in need, some whose funds were raised in their particular State that have children under the age of 18, and who are in need of assistance with housing, repairs, utilities, medical expenses, groceries, clothing, school supplies and other expenses deemed necessary in order to help alleviate their need.
There is no substitute for a parent, but we strive to ease their pain and suffering and honor the memories of our fallen soldiers.

Make-A-Wish Foundation of America

http://www.wish.org/

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors and entire communities.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 after a little boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt wish to become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 144,000 children around the world.

Although it has become one of the world's most well-known charities, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has maintained the grassroots fulfillment of its mission.

A network of more than 25,000 volunteers enable the Make-A-Wish Foundation to serve children with life-threatening medical conditions. Volunteers serve as wish granters, fundraisers, special events assistants and in numerous other capacities.
As the Foundation continues to mature, its mission will remain steadfast. Wish children of the past, present and future will have an opportunity to share the power of a wish®.

Running into a brick wall with Paypal. In order to not charge fees, we have to be a bonefide non-profit or charitable organization. Otherwise it's the 3% rule. I'm not even sure I can get a second Paypal account. I will check with a local bank tomorrow to see how it works.

That sucks!

Everybody wants a cut. I'm sure the bank account will take a chunk too. Just depends on the size of the chunk.
