Jester and I were discussing charities and I noticed someone said something about not necessarily going with a "local" charity. By that do you mean local to Jester or the US?
Anyway, we wanted to get everyone's opinion on my suggestion.
Some of you know that my brother, Joe, was murdered back in 2008. In remembrance of him my family has started a charity called The Joe 15 Team. They are a recognized non-profit organization providing children of all ages with after school and weekend activities that give back to the community. They volunteer at senior centers, homeless shelters, hold fund raisers and toy/clothing/food drives and they also present 2 students every year with a scholarship to continue their education. This is an organization run out of the basement of my parents home and is growing rapidly. Where they were a club at only one school at the inception of this project they now service more than 10 schools in their local area and they are continuing to grow every day. They are in the newspapers regularly regarding the events they hold and they have won several awards for excellent service. All of the kids I have met who are involved in The Joe 15 Team love helping out and are more mature than any other kids I know. They have an appreciation for life, the comforts they have and they understand the importance of giving back.

On a side note, we may be able to make the donations tax deductible. My parents have experience with receiving donations and providing paperwork for tax purposes. This is something I can discuss with them and figure it out.
DISCLAIMER****Please bear in mind that I have nothing to do with this charity other than being the daughter of the founder. I do not participate in events and I, or my family, do not benefit personally from the charity. All donations go to the operation of the charity.******
