If you were given a large sum of money and had to donate to a charity which would you choose? Why?

·         Debbie

a.      St. Jude’s so that all of the children will have a chance to get well and be happy.

·         Hannah

a.      I would choose The Cooper Trooper Foundation. I would choose this charity because it was founded by my aunt and uncle after my cousin Cooper was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer as an infant. The foundation helps support the siblings that are effected in such situations. They money also goes to cancer research and more.

·         Kavut

a.       If I could pick any charity it would be a charity that has to do with Autism. I have a cousin that has autism and I feel for those children and families. Also I would pick the Humane Society because I love animals and I don’t understand why people neglect and hurt them.

·         Kendra

a.       I would donate to the Carcinoid Cancer Foundation. Doctors don’t really know too much about this cancer. Often time’s people with this cancer are misdiagnosed. Hopefully one day they will be able to save more lives.

·         Lacey

a.       Animal Shelters to save them from being put down.
Breast Cancer to help find a cure.

·         Leigh

a.       I would have to split the money up. I would evenly split the money and donate to Home of the Innocents in Louisville, Kentucky, Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing and The PTSD Foundation of America. HOTI is an amazing place. They home children children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned. It is also like a hospital it for the medically fragile children. My sister is a physical therapist there and I have been able to play with these children and from the first day I fell in love with the children, the Home and their mission. Veterans hold a place close to my heart and these 2 organizations work closely with Veterans physical and emotional needs. 

·         Lesley

a.       Diabetes Research and Cure. My father has a pretty hard time with his diabetes and takes very good care of himself. I hate that he cannot enjoy himself at all times and hate how bad it makes him feel.

·         Linda

a.       I would give half of it to an American Indian Hospital for Children. I have given to them in the past and I would also give half of it to St. Jude’s because I am and always have been about helping and taking care of children.

·         Shay

a.       Ronald McDonald House or St. Jude because they help sick children and their families. They don’t have to pay anything out of pocket.

·         Shelly

a.      Autism Awareness because I have a nephew that is Autistic. There is still so much unknown about it.

·         Adrianne

a.      I couldn't just choose one charity. I would split the money evenly between The Autism Foundation, Susan Komen for the Cure (Breast Cancer Awareness) and Alzheimer’s Awareness. These 3 charities are special to me because all three of these disease run in my family members of my family are or have been affected by all three diseases and I have close friends that have been affected by all three diseases.

·         Anna

a.      Wounded Warrior because our veterans deserve better care. And the Mary Clare Kovar fund for my cousin.

·         Ashanti

a.      Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. I want to help all often families who cannot afford the care that their children need.  

·         Brenda

a.      Fisk University

·         Colleen

a.      Mary Clare Kovar fund to help families who are grieving the loss of their infants. The fund helps families in different ways with different needs.
