"Nativity" Charity Auction Details:
There are thousands of deserving charities out there, but after careful consideration and research I have chosen four that I am confident
will use the money wisely. If you win the auction, you can choose which charity will get the donation, or I can choose for you. Or you can spread it out equally between all four. Three charities are lesser known, so I felt a donation would have a greater impact for them, and the last charity is widely known and reputable. All are for a good cause.
I have no personal affiliation with any of these charities,
I found them through research and recommendation.


"Care Bags 4 Kids": Care Bags Foundation is a legal, 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization which provides Care Bags filled with new essential, helpful, fun, safe, and age appropriate items for children and youth (ages baby-18 yrs.) who are in need. Annie Wignall founded the organization in Jan. 2000 when she was eleven years old. She got the idea to start this project after she learned there were lots of kids in crisis situations who have to leave their homes with very few of their own belongings. Run 100% by volunteers, Care Bags 4 Kids has helped to brighten the lives of over 14,000 displaced, abused, and disadvantaged children worldwide!
How will the donation be used? This organization is 100% volunteer with no paid staff, so all donations go directly
to assist the deserving kids the organizaion serves.

"Max's Lemonade Stand": Max's Lemonade Stand is a legal, 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization with the objective to bring awareness while providing resources to fund breast cancer research, finding a cure for breast cancer. After his mother's best friend died of breast cancer in 2003, Max Igoe decided he wanted to do something in memory of the woman he called 'Auntie Beth.'
So, the 6-year-old decided to raise money for the City of Hope cancer center in Duarte in the best way he knew how to -
by opening a lemonade stand! Max's goal is to raise 1 million dollars to help find a cure for breast cancer.
How will the donation be used? This organization is 100% volunteer with no paid staff, so all donations go to raise money for breast cancer research (through research organizations such as "City of Hope"), to provide wigs to to those who cannot afford them, and to offer scholarships for children who have lost a parent to breast cancer.

"Soldiers' Angels": Soldiers'Angels is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and their families. Founded by the mother of two American soldiers, Soldiers' Angels is now comprised of nearly 200,000 volunteers who have developed unique and effective ways to support members of the U.S. military: sending tens of thousands of care packages and letters to deployed service members, supplying the wounded with First Response Packs, providing care and comfort to those in stateside military and VA facilities, providing emergency aid to military families in need, providing voice-controlled/adaptive laptops to over 2,600 severely-wounded servicemembers, providing flights to soldiers on leave or in emergency situations and to their families wanting to be with them upon return from overseas, providing Level III KEVLAR armored blankets to give personnel extra protection in their vehicles when it was needed, and much more! Their slogan is "May No Soldier Go Unloved".
How will the donation be used? Soldiers' Angels has 4 paid staff members and remains over 98 percent volunteer based, so is able to dedicate 90-100% of every dollar from donations to the soldiers they support.

Programs focus on six core areas of child well-being:  Early Childhood Development, Education, Nutrition, Health and Sanitation, Micro-enterprise Development and Emergency Response.
How will the donation be used? According to the charity "Christian Children's Fund is committed to accountability to both the children we serve and our donors. In fiscal year 2007, more than 82 percent of CCF's revenue was used for services and programs benefiting children."
