Why not give the $ to st. Jude or some other children's hospital? Are you guys actually aware of what all the animal charities fund? The human society funds anti-hunting campaigns like peta does and doesn't own the first animal shelter, like they lead you to believe. If you want to see more of your charity used toward helping the real cause(homeless animals) then donate it to your local animal shelter.
The united way is a scam also, they try and get our corporation to donate to them...and their representative rolls up in a bmw and nice suit (as already posted).
I will tell you that you really need to invest the $ you have and find a trusted finiancial planner to help you do so. Don't blow the $ and fall back on the taxpayer to front your expenses. Republican rant over.... and I don't need your $500
