I donate to S.T. Jude children's hospital! Gooo S.T. Jude!

Some more pennies. this may tweak a few but... I also support stem cell research after seeing someone that's was dying from a failing liver the us said sorry get in line for a few years and maybe you will get 1 before you die. The guy saved his money and sent tissue samples to korea they grew his exact liver and the guy is alive and healthy today because of stem cell, im sure his children are thankfull to.

Thrivent Financial for lutherans? It's a religious charity but they sponsor a ton of events

Not exactly for disease but it is a charity for hospitals, and a famous one at that.

Child's Play

Considering alot of OCN's community is for the most part gamers, why not.

Quote:

Since 2003, over 100,000 gamers worldwide have banded together through Child’s Play, a community based charity grown and nurtured from the game culture and industry. Over 3.5 million dollars in donations of toys, games, books and cash for sick kids in children’s hospitals across North America and the world have been collected since our inception.

This year, we have continued expanding across the country and the globe. With around 60 partner hospitals and more arriving every month, you can be sure to find one from the map above that needs your help! You can choose to purchase requested items from their online retailer wish lists, or make a cash donation that helps out Child’s Play hospitals everywhere. Any items purchased through Amazon will be shipped directly to your hospital of choice, so please be sure to select their shipping address rather than your own.

When gamers give back, it makes a difference!

I also support St.Jude's every year.

I think the money should be split 50/50 with 2 charities. Just my 2 cents.

I reckon World Vision mainly because I can't stand the idea of people not having enough food to eat because of dictators.

How about you set up a criteria? And say for example give that gift you talk of to one Charity? It is very clear there are many deserving. Why not just donate to that charity in the name of the member and OCN?

Criteria baby!

I'd say the FSF, but I can understand the desiese related ideal there.

I'd like to suggest The Alzheimer's Society. It's something that truly scares me, and as an avid reader of Terry Pratchett novels, and a history in my family, something close to my heart.

Other than that, Help for Heroes is a good cause, albeit a bit British for some people`s tastes, maybe.
