Top 10 Charity Blogs

       These are the Ten Best Charity Blogs, loosely based on lists from Technorati, Alltop and 

Networked Blogs . As the main author of this blog, I admit freely that I could learn much about blogging for charity from the authors of these blogs and I also aspire to make visiting this blog a greater experience for both the readers and the writers. Below each blog name you will find post(s)that I reccommend.

So many great free fundraising resources – Tom Ahern   http://fundraisingcoach.com/2011/08/24/so-many-great-free-fundraising-resources-tom-ahern/

I like this because although I like to be a generous giver and blog to raise awareness for charity, I live on a limited income. Finding cheap or free ways to still have an impact are always great to have if you're not a millionaire or billionaire.

I'm not much of a racing fan, I have to admit that; but you have to admit that NASCAR  has done a great job in raising awareness and funds for charity. Just look up NASCAR + Charity on the web and you find  several pages of results. 
            Some of the well-known charities supported by NASCAR and their drivers are; Victory Junction,  Kyle Petty Charity Ride, and ChildHelp

Rachel Beckwith:One Little Girl's Legacy of Giving

             One 9 year old girl had raised $220 dollars for charity:water in lieu of birthday presents and then a few weeks later she dies due to injuries from a car wreck. After her death, donations have been pouring in to a page she set up for charity:water, and the funds raised now are over 3/4ths of a million dollars!

                  I find it admirable, and others have as well, that Rachel would have rather given her birthday to charity than to own the latest toy or gadget. Although I didn't know her(or her family), Rachel's birthday wish has shown that she had great character. Now, several thousands of of people will have clean water. Rachel's story proves that 1 child or 1 person of any age can make a difference in this world. Rest in peace, Rachel and May God be with you and your family.
