Thanks to Beth Kanter for a great post that shows how we can continue the holiday giving spirit to change the world year-round. Beth gives month by month inspiration and opportunities to weave charity into our celebrations and everyday lives.
Over the next week, I’m planning to take my own advice from the post “One Thing You Need to Know Before You Donate To Charity This Holiday Season” and come up with my plan for active engagement in my chosen cause month to month and day to day during 2009. My cause is going to be homelessness and if you have ideas for how I can further the cause through changes and actions in my life over the coming year, please feel free to comment or email me directly at sharon.l.schneider at gmail dot com.
If you’re also inspired to make some change to make the world a better place, share your idea with the Case Foundation here and you could win a trip for two to the Presidential Inauguration on January 20th.
“As we usher in this exciting new era of change we recognize that everyone has a part to play. So, how will YOU commit to bringing about change in your neighborhood, your community or your nation? The Case Foundation is calling on citizens across the country to join the Change Begins With Me campaign by sharing how you will be part of the change.”
Winners will be chosen at random from all entries that aren’t sexist, racist or condone illegal drug use. Not the highest bar to reach, but still, worth a shot! Enter by January 12 for a chance to win.
