I already pay taxes.

I give a few bucks to the Conservative Party now and again.  And I put money in my kid's education fund.

I am not entirely surprised you count both of those as charity  :P


To answer the OP I regularly contribute to:

the general bursary funds of the Universities where I obtained my undergraduate and law degrees;
an organization that provides pro bono legal services (I also volunteer my time there)
the United Way
the SPCA;
an organization that helps youth in distress; and
an organization that assists children with learning disabilities.

edit:  in the spirit of BB's idea of charity, I also subscribe to newspapers  :D

Lately Dress for Success by attending fundraisers and stuff.  The Lexington chapter has been trying to recruit me to join the BofD but it's too long a drive and there's too much drama.

I also MC'd a charity saddlebred horse show this past weekend, so I guess I volunteered my time for that too.

Now that's not in the spirit of charity. For shame.



Funny though.

Eh, the horses enjoyed it, except for the one ridden by an old guy with an eyepatch.  After his class he just wanted to get the fuck outta there and refused my ribbon.

Yes, I'm sure the horses enjoyed it.

Apparently Cal thinks they like to limp, too.

I also learned that just like there are soccer moms, there are horse moms. :)
