And the winner is...

Let me just say thank you to everyone who played along and listed their favorite charities. I especially appreciated those of you who shared how certain organizations have touched you personally.  If you haven't had a chance to read through the comments, please do - you will be touched and you will learn about a lot of truly wonderful charities.

And now without any further ado, here are the winners, chosen by by the random number generator!

The first winner is comment number 108 by Robin at Pensieve.  Robin, along with many others, named Compassion International as her charity of choice, and I will be donating $100 to them this evening.  Go check out what they do for children around the world.  And also, take a look at this program sponsored by Compassion.  It doesn't take much to make a huge difference, and Compassion's work makes that very clear.

Our second winner is comment number 23 by Annabeth at Life from the Toaster.  She has chosen Shaohannah's Hope, which helps make adoption possible for many families.  What a great organization, and I appreciate Annabeth and the rest of you who brought it up in the comments. They'll be receiving $100 from me tonight.

Finally, our third winner is comment number 96 by Worker Mommy at Because I Must Blog.  Her charity is Doctors without Borders, which has a very special place in my heart.  A great choice that will also be receiving $100 before I go to bed tonight.

Thanks everyone, for playing along.  And if you haven't already done so, please consider spreading the word about Give It Away.  I sure would appreciate it!

Congrats to the winners (and the according charities)!
Thanks for hosting this fun giveaway!

You know what? When I entered this, my thought was "if I could choose one giveaway to win, this would be it".

:) I'm thrilled! Thank you for supporting a cause which is making a difference in the lives of thousands of children.

You're incarnating "blessed to be a blessing", and not only are you blessing these three organizations, you've blessed me, too.

Thank you so much!

What is this?

  • The idea for Give It Away is a simple one. I am encouraging people to give their 2008 tax rebates away as soon as the checks hit the mailbox. I don't have an agenda about who you should give to, and I don't want anyone to give through me. I just hope people will give where they see a need.
