Charitable organizations

Each student will select a charitable organization to research. After conducting research using the Internet, each student will post the results of their research on the blog site. Students should include information such as the the history of the organization, the cause that the organization supports, how the donations are used and any special events that the conduct to raise money.

Ideas of charitable donations

I learned the following information on the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It is a bone marrow cancer that causes the death of over 50,000 people in the US each year. Every 10 minutes, someone dies from blood cancer – nearly 146 people every day. There are a lot of ways to support the Society. They sponsor Team in Training in which individuals train to do things such as ride a bike for 100 miles and ask people to sponsor them financially. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society holds hundreds of fundraising events annually, from our signature Team In Training® and Light The Night® Walk, School & Youth^SM Programs, The Leukemia Cup Regatta, and Man & Woman of the Year , to numerous golf tournaments and gala dinners. Whatever your interest, there's a way for you to get involved, have fun and accelerate cures. The School Youth Program collects pennies or loose change for about three weeks and Olive Garden has a program which rewards the class that makes this most money with a pasta party. All of the money goes to support a local patient. I think that we should find out if there is someone in our community who has Leukemia or Lymphoma and use the money from our event to help them.
