National Capitol Wheelchair Tennis Association
I donate time instead of money to this cause. I mostly coach. I have been doing it for over 5 years. I've met many great people.
Right To Play
Right To Play is run by the Sport for Development and Peace International Working Group (SDP IWG). It's programs help to create a healthier and safer world through the power of sport and play. You can donate money or become a volunteer. If you are a volunteer, you work with a partner to coach or develop sports programs in an underdeveloped or war-torn country. I feel very strongly about this cause.
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada
Of all of my relatives who are dead, this was the main cause. I donate money.
Canadian Cancer Society
My family isn't really cancer-prone. I donate to this just because I think it's a good cause. I donate money and do the
Terry Fox Run each year.
Canadian Diabetes Association
I really just donate used clothes to them. I am a bit of a "clothes horse," so they get a lot from me.
Royal Canadian Sea Cadets (RCSCC Falkland)
I donate time to this corps as a C.O. I mostly do administrative stuff like organizing trips, some basic budgeting, overseeing ceremonies, sometimes drill instruction if needed. Above all, I make sure they all get some time asea (as well as band, colour party or guard.)
That's pretty much all I do at the moment, at least on a regular basis. When the telemarketers call and ask for money, I can refuse them without guilt and say, "I already donate to other charities, thanks."
