Charitable donations

[Jason Strasser (strassa2)]

There are a few days left in 2006 and if you are making tax-deductable charitable donations, you need to do it now to count against your 2006 income.

With the dollar amts disclosed, here are a few charities I am giving money to, and Im curious where others are donating poker money.

ICFG.org - My mom is the CEO of the International Center for Journalism. Its a non-profit and it focuses on training journalists to cover stories in third-world countries, among other things.

Julius Barnathan Scholarship Fund -- a fund set up in my grandfathers name to provide aid for one graduate student in communications each year.

Savedarfur.org -- Its the worst conflict on the planet.

No oil no resources no international community interest.

The situation in Darfur makes me want to vomit in the faces of western society.
