CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!



Well it is almost that time of the year again. Yes that's right, Christmas time. I love Christmas. It is my favorite time of the year. Everyone just seems happier in December. I am here to ask all of you guys a little favor. There are two non profits that I really believe in. With holiday online shopping revenues reaching upward of 28 billion in 2007 alone, let the money from your holiday shopping go to a good cause.

The first is "To Write Love On Her Arms". You can check out their myspace or their website.

They focus and help young people who are struggling with addiction, suicide, cutting, self esteem, ect. They have started a clothing line that is really cool. They have tshirts, hoodies, hats, and other accessories. All of the proceeds go to help these young people

The second is the (Red) Campaign. Their focus is the AIDS epidemic in Africa. Everyday an estimated 4,100 men, women, and children die in Sub-Saharan Africa from this preventable, treatable disease. The Red Campaign has a number of products (razr cell phones, ipods, gap clothing, sunglasses, ect) that a lot of the profit goes straight to the (Red)Campaign. They have things of many different prices. From big to small, they have it. This year they have also partnered up with Starbucks. Now when you go to grab your favorite 4 dollar latte, part of your absurd coffee spending can go to help people.

This Christmas when you are doing your Christmas shopping remember this. You have to do your Christmas shopping anyways. You might as well kill two birds with one stone. If anyone has any other non profits they would like me to add to the list, just let me know.
