Yes, the holiday season is drawing to a close, as is the federal tax year.  You now have 6 days left to donate to a worthy cause and get the benefit of it for your 2007 taxes.  Who should you give your money to?  Well, that’s a personal decision; you’ll want to donate to charities that support causes that you believe in, and which you believe are doing a great service.  Of course if you’d like some suggestions, then I’m only too happy to list several for you here.  Disclaimers: several of the charities listed below are clients, but not all.  Secondly, these are my personal picks, which may or may not reflect charities and causes that others at RBDRodeo support.  So now that’s out of the way, here are some deserving charities that you may consider supporting, in no particular order:

• SOS Children’s Villages - Providing food, shelter, education and a village family for orphans and abandoned children around the world.
• HOKAFI - Helen O. Krause Animal Foundation Inc.  A no-kill animal shelter in Dillsburg, PA.
• Kids Wish Network - Fulfilling the wishes of sick and dying children around the US.
• HSUS - The Humane Society of the US is the biggest voice in the fight to stop the annual seal cub hunt in Canada.
• RSPCA - The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is currently leading the fight to stop a UK government plan to have massive cull of badgers, which a government study has claimed to be necessary to limit outbreaks of bovine TB.
