So this isn't really my typical blogging type of blog, but rather I'm asking for anyone who reads this to just donate some time in paying attention to I have to say, I guess you can call it my whoring out blog-- the first one in a while too.

Every year I try and pick one cause to donate to and get involved in when I can and I have a lot of passion of helping other people, especially kids. Last year it was Juvenile AIDS, I didn't donate a lot but I try and give my fair share if I can through whatever way I can.

This year I've decided that I'm throwing all my support behind the "Shirt the Kids" campaign and I really believe strongly in it.

You can find more about it here at this link: http://www.pnoyapparel.com/shirtthekids.php

and for those of you with lame internet access or who are just to lazy to click the link here's the little blurb from the site:



PNOY Apparel's mission: to sell and donate a minimum of 10,000 shirts by December 31, 2008. That will be10,000 shirts for 10,000 kids! For the price of a cup of coffee, a bag of chips and/or a gallon of gas, people can put more than a priceless smile on a child in the Philippines and benefit children fighting cancer. As a FREE GIFT, for each tee purchased, PNOY Apparel will include a PNOY Apparel Shirt The Kids wristband, as a reminder of your selfless donation.

For more information on the Philippine Children's Fund please visit www.pinoykids.org

Basically just by donating 5 dollars you get a shirt to a kid who is less fortunate and you can donate in a number of ways:

you can donate straight money to the site by following these links:

Look under the "Begin Donating" section, you can donate in the increments of  ONE, FIVE, TEN, ONE HUNDRED, ONE THOUSAND, and QUANTITY YOU PREFER--- and these would all be a shirt that would go to clothe a kid in need.

However: If you don't just want to donate but get yourself a shirt that also donates to the cause you can check out this links here:

This shirt looks like this:
I'm personally getting one ASAP and by buying one of these shirts you donate 10 dollars to the "Shirt the Kids" Campaign and also get the wicked cool shirt with Sammy on it.

I'm sure loads of you will just read this and do nothing, and that's fine, but for really I'm just urging people to consider something like this for the upcoming holiday season, instead of spending that extra money on something useless, just think about what the smallest amount of money could do in this case.
