My Goal

I came up with this idea, based on another charity event here in San Diego (except theirs is based on booze and partying, mine on a more healthy approach. But don't get me wrong, I'll definitely be participating in theirs as well. So I named my three charities:

1. The Moyer Foundation - Specifically Camp Erin, which is a grief camp designed for children ages 6-17 who have experienced the death of a loved one. It is a traditional, fun, high-energy camp combined with grief education and emotional support. Camp Erin is a weekend, overnight camp. Activities begin after school on Friday and finish early afternoon on Sunday.
2. The Kidney Foundation of Southern California - supports kidney transplants and assists families who have loved ones in need, along with a host of other initiatives. Contact me for a Donate Life bracelet if you want one (because nobody has ever made a bracelet like that).
3. Wounded Warrior Project - The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) was founded on the principle that veterans are our nation's greatest citizens. The WWP seeks to assist those men and women of our armed forces who have been severely injured during the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations around the world. Many of the injuries are traumatic amputations, gunshot wounds, burns and blast injuries that will retire these brave warriors from military service. As the brother of a serviceman, this is of great importance to me.

So there you have it, three events, three charities. I hope to raise $5 for each charity from 100 people (or any combination of $'s that will help me reach my goal of $500 per charity). So, if you would like, donate! You can give money directly to me (or I'll provide you with an account number, I'm just a little leery of putting that on the Internet), and I'll get it into the correct account, or you can use PayPal (the links are below). Your donation can be anonymous, or you can enter your information (or send it to me, whatever the case may be) and I'll make sure you receive recognition. Thanks in advance, and wish me luck!
