I went to a fancy charity event. One of the impactful things they did was ask anyone who has been affected by cancer in some way to stand up. The whole room of 500 people stood up. The visual really drove home the point and caused people to donate more on site. We are the most generous country in the world. Here are some of the most contributed to charities..If you have the ability to help a cause do it as you never know when you are in need.
