My vote goes to St Judes. They don't beg every night on TV, for the most part they don't really put ads out at all, and they help kids regardless of the disease at hand.

C'mon guys, the four diamonds fund takes care of all the finances for kids with cancer so their families have one less thing to worry about.

But, they're all good charities, and I'm glad to see OCN helping out.

I really wanted to do Sick Kids, but I picked St. Judes. But all charities are very important!

I think there needs to be a description for each charity so you don't have to click all the links.
