Astarforjack.org Jack Cassidy does not have a star on the walk of fame and has 4 talented sons. He both sang and danced on Broadway and was in many tv shows. He died over 30 years ago and both of his oldest sons were teen idols, so why didn't he already get a star? Many with half his talent have had one.

I support multiple environmental charities and animal charities. They have no voice that is recognized by the human race to speak for themselves, so I donate time and money to help give them a recognizable voice.

I give to whoever asks me when I have anything left over after bills and groceries. If I had the money to contribute regularly I would choose the humane society and the rescue squad and would continue to make occasional contributions to several other charities.

Multiple organizations in the environmental/sustainability/animal protection areas. Because animals and the environment can't adequately protect themselves against the human race without the help of the human race. Humans come equipped with the ability to help themselves - as the occupants of the top of food chain, it's our responsibility to help other life forms.

Wolf Park, Battle Ground, IN - Great job on Wolf Education, great outreach program, i.m.o. have a reasonable stance on wolfdogs compared to other Wolf conservation organizations. Orphan Animals, Bay City, MI - Run entirely through foster homes; the foster pets all receive lots of attention. Isabella CO Animal Control/H.A.T.S./MidMichigan Adopt-A-Pet , Mount Pleasant, MI - The best municipal animal shelter I have ever been to. Animals are socialized, well cared for, low-kill facility, pets are given lot more time to find homes than required by law, & adoption fee is VERY reasonable. Planned Parenthood - every child should come into this world loved by their parents. I'm pro QUALITY of life. American Bird Conservancy Audubon Society Husband supports Ducks Unlimited I've worked with Few Steps From Home Animal Rescue Bay/Saginaw, MI & Friends of Genesee CO Animal Shelter, Genesee CO, MI Kelpie Rescue in CA Also use free click to donate sites, mostly environmental, and Goodsearch.

The Institute for Justice is on the front lines in fighting the abuse of eminent domain (government taking property from people against their will), and for small business owners to be able to operate without excessive regulation and licensing burdens. They truly do stand up for the "little guy".

www.team25.com the Shjon Podein Childrens Foundation Shjon is a retired NHL player who was on the 2001 Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche. He was also a member of the "3M" line in Philly. His foundation is helping to find a cure for Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT). It is a rare, inherited disease that affects the nervous system, immune system and other body systems. Shjon's foundation is supported throughout the NHL and also by the likes of Brad Paisley and Matt Damon. Playing in the annual golf tournament is the highlight of my year - just seeing all the kids affected by A-T out there having a great time puts a lot of things in perspective. I urge you to visit the SPCF site... www.team25.com and learn more...

I support the pregnancy resource center. They help women by giving them a free pregnancy test. They help women in job-finding and other necessary training in order to make a life for them and their baby. They give women clothing, baby items, blankets, baby toys, etc. And it's all FREE!

I steadily support NAMI (National Alliance for the mentally Ill), because bipolar disorder runs in our family. Besides this, every year I support an other additional organization: animal rescue (because I love animals), KPBS (unbiased public broadcasting), the university that my daughter attended (they gave her a scholarship), my alma mater (they gave me a scholarship), disaster relief (acquaintance suffered due to a local wildfire), our local ethnic club (I belong). I also donate books to inmates in the local prison.

It depends on to whom you give the charity. Some people ( young and healthy) prefer to get smth. free instead of working, I hate such people who play other people's feelings...I am not against giving the charity to sick and disabled. Money in not easy to everybody! Giving the charity doesn't do anything with religion, it's a state of your soul!!!

We Support the Lighthouse Assocations for the help keep the lighthouses in working order. They also take care of the run down one and get them in working order. Lighthouses are an important part of history that people don't even know about. The lighthouses in GA have an amazing histroy. Tybee Island Lighthouse has had to be built 4 times and was built when Olgethrope came to GA.
