What charities are those at team estrogen involved in? I figured I'd make a thread dedicated to charities not necessarily associated with those we bike for at various times of the year.

Here's one I am involved in through work:

The company I work for recently started a charity marketing campaign for Save the Children and the Ad Council. The campaign is designed to help provide valuable healthcare for the millions of children who need it worldwide. Unfortunately, 9 million children die every year from preventable illness and this new campaign/PSA is designed to help fight this saddening number.

On a positive note, every 4 seconds a child or mother in a developing country is being saved from debilitating/deadly disease our goal is to improve this rate. Check out the website Goodgoes.org (http://bit.ly/bvcf6O) for the "Where the good goes" campaign. We’ve also created a Facebook application, Good Goes Facebook (http://bit.ly/cAkP4R), to help bring attention to the project as well. Show your support by installing the app, and uploading your photo to the wall alongside the other participants to show solidarity in this awareness campaign.

By charity do you mean non profit, ngo's..... Just curious. I support a lot of things through donations and or time. I am going to bet that some people may not want to respond with specifics, for fear of judgement. Who and what you donate to can be a very personal thing.

The OP gets around the Interwebs more than I do...like déja vu seeing this same thread on the 2 message boards I frequent most:
charitable spamming...? (http://www.runningahead.com/forums/post/7c0d9e1d07e4479b97e92d94a8049d7a)
