Give the gift of "charity" this Christmas!

This Christmas give:

To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling.
~ Edna Ferber

Christmas isn't just a day, it's a frame of mind.
~ Valentine Davies


This Christmas give directly from you cell phone or mobile device.

Help your loved ones, family, and friends fight cancer by donating directly from your cell phone. American Cancer Society has some great options to do this.

Charity begins in the home, but should extend as far as our cell phone can reach. Give charity to a child this season to receive resources for support for food and shelter.
1) Text "GIVEHOPE" to "90999" to give $5
2) Send a message to save a life and donate $5 - Text "ALIVE" TO "90999"
