NewGuy,
Here's an SBR point contribution for your charity collection and I only ask that you refrain from giving to any charity that is racist in nature (United Negro College Fund, any charity run by Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton/Black Entertainment Network, etc).

My preference is to give everything to the Salvation Army as the CEO of the Salvation Army makes something like $13,000/annually and the vast, vast majority of monies given to that organization goes straight to help people in need as opposed to paying for administrative costs.

I give generously to the Salvation Army every year. They are a wonderful organization.
