Before you turn off your computer…

By Mary DeSilva

You have to check this out.  While verifying facts on Snopes, I learned about What Kind Of World Do You Want - a website launched by Five for Fighting’s lead singer, John Androsik.

At whatkindofWORLDdoyouwant.com, you can raise money for charity by uploading your own video creations describing what kind of world you want, or you can raise money by simply clicking and viewing a video.  It is as simple as it seems – click on a video and money will go to the charity listed.  There’s a page that explains the numbers, but knowing that 95% of the money donated goes the chosen charity was enough to compel me to click first and read later.

 Five unquestionably deserving charities have been earmarked:

 Augies Quest - Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis research

Watch videos that raise money for ALS research

Save the Children - Int’l relief and development for children

Watch videos that raise money for Save the Children

United Service Organization - The USO, providing for our troops

Watch videos that raise money for the USO 

Fisher House Foundation - Housing for relatives of hospitalized military

Watch videos that raise money for Fisher House

Autism Speaks - Autism research

Watch videos that raise money for Autism research

In the time it takes for your car to warm up, you can tell the world how you feel, enjoy a video, and raise money for charity.  It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s free.  So before you leave for the day, please click on any of the “watch video” links above and support some wonderful causes.

Thanks for listening:)
