More and more each month you hear about the latest campaign supporting a local or national charity or cause. Granted not all of them are for a cause that is life threatening, some national campaigns are created for an opportunity to have open dialogue about their plight. There are other that your support can really help someone in need. Whether it be monetarily or by deed, it is so rewarding for the person or group that is the recipient of your generosity and it is also rewarding in the feeling that you get in giving to others.

True philanthropy is usually generated by finding causes that you feel passionate about. October experienced an unprecedented support for breast cancer research. It was really amazing to see football players and sports commentators supporting the cause, making it cool to wear pink. It is easy to take up the cause with the most media exposure and celebrity, but what about other causes out there that don’t have that benefit?
