The Skin Cancer Foundation is the only international organization devoted solely to education, prevention, early detection, and prompt treatment of the world’s most common cancer. Take your stand against skin cancer.
Melvin Jones, a 38-year-old Chicago business leader, asked a simple and world-changing question – what if people put their talents to work improving their communities? Almost 100 years later, Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization, with 1.35 million members in more than 46,000 clubs and countless stories of Lions acting on the same simple idea: let's improve our communities.
1920: Going International
Just three years after our founding, Lions became international when we established the first club in Canada. Mexico followed in 1927. In the 1950s and 1960s international growth accelerated, with new clubs in Europe, Asia and Africa.
1925: Eradicating Blindness
Helen Keller addressed the Lions Clubs International Convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, USA, and challenged Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness." Since then, we have worked tirelessly to aid the blind and visually impaired.
1945: Uniting Nations
The ideal of an international organization is exemplified by our enduring relationship with the United Nations. We were one of the first nongovernmental organizations invited to assist in the drafting of the United Nations Charter and have supported the work of the UN ever since.
1957: Organizing Youth Programs
In the late 1950s, we created the Leo Program to provide the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.
1968: Establishing Our Foundation
Lions Clubs International Foundation assists Lions with global and large-scale local humanitarian projects. Through our Foundation, Lions meet the needs of their local and global communities.
1990: Launching SightFirst
Through SightFirst, Lions are restoring sight and preventing blindness on a global scale. Launched in 1990, Lions have raised more than $346 million for this initiative. SightFirst targets the major causes of blindness: cataract, trachoma, river blindness, childhood blindness, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.
Today: Extending Our Reach
Lions Clubs International extends our mission of service every day – in local communities, in all corners of the globe. The needs are great and our services broad, including sight, health, youth, elderly, the environment and disaster relief. Our international network has grown to include more than 206 countries and geographic areas.
I just made a donation to the Daffodil Place. It is a cancer research agency based out of St. John's, Newfoundland (my hometown).
A friend of mine runs an annual fundraiser for them in February in memory of his brother passing away of brain cancer 3 years ago. This year he ran the fundraiser today, on the 11th, thus why I've waited to donate.
He does all of this fundraiser out of his tattoo shop, he is a rather well known artist in Canada and worldwide. He donates a Saturday and does all his work (and everyone who works in his shop) to the Daffodil Place.
Unfortunately, because I live in the US and made my donation via paypal to Dave back in Canada, I will not get a receipt for some time, and as a result will not be able to participate in the drawing (the Daffodil Place only deals with physical receipts and it has to be printed and mailed - they are a little behind the times when it comes to technology for that sort of thing)... however I wanted to make a post on here, just in case anyone else would like to make a donation to cancer research in Newfoundland (yes... I know I've seen a couple of others around here...)
Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
Thank you for supporting Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). Your generosity gives us the financial independence we need to provide emergency medical care to men, women, and children in nearly 70 countries around the world.

This is, to put it plainly, OUTSTANDING! As of right now, over $1,500 has been gifted to various organizations!
About a day and a half left before the drawing. Just a few reminders:
Please check your emails and inboxes over the next few days. My intention is to contact the winners shortly after midnight (central time) on the 14th.
Please remember to provide credible proof of donation(s) for each post made if your name is drawn. Credible proof can be online receipts, cc statements, scanned receipts, confimation emails... etc. I'm not looking for anything with sensitive information (like credit card numbers) on it. If you want to black out credit card info and scan before sending, that is fine.
Once the winners have been drawn, contact has been made, and proof of donation has been established, the winners will be announced on this thread.
Good luck to everyone, and THANK YOU very, very much!
thanks again for the chance to do something good...
and thanks to my favorite person for the idea of this cause...
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Donated to Wielka Orkiestra Swiatecznej Pomocy which purchases medical equipment for children to help our sorely under-funded public health service here in Poland. Wanted to donate to McMillan Nurses but they don't accept overseas cards. It's all good.
A very benevolent gesture of you 3days. Donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. Knowing what the PJ community are like I'd be confident that many of the donations are north of the $10.00 figure.
Made another donation, this time to the ASPCA.
For over 140 years the ASPCA has worked tirelessly to end animal cruelty. From education and care to adoption and rescue, the ASPCA is making a life changing difference for animals across America. Your support will mean so much to the animals right in your community. Thank you for making the ASPCA and the animals we serve a part of your life.

Life Rolls On is a non-profit organization that inspires others to see the boundless possibilities beyond paralysis. Established in 2002, LRO’s signature adaptive surfing program, They Will Surf Again, has grown into a catalyst of hope for thousands of individuals throughout the world.
