I am in the second year of sponsoring a little girl in Mongolia through The World Vision.
I give time and donations to the Montreal Missing Childrens Network. (Helping with outreach to the public or racing in a dragon boat race)
And i try to donate to any of my friends or family who are raising for specific causes.
Last year i supported 2 friends biking across canada to raise money for a machine for the Children's Hospital. I held a bottle drive for 1 month at my work. Managed to raise 170$. Might not sound like much... but think about it... every can is only 5 cents.
I also ran a 50/50 raffle for 4 weeks at work to benefit to World Vision. It was awesome, everyone was in to help!
I've also volunteered at animal shelters and give to the David Suzuki Foundation.
