SAVE, Suicide Awareness, Voices of Education. http://www.save.org/ Suicide claims more lives than HIV/AIDS, homicide, even traffic accidents. Depression is a disease, one that’s ultimately treatable. Help us get the word out to the people we care about. BSA, Boy Scouts of America, North Star Council. http://www.northernstarbsa.org/ As a former Eagle Scout I recognize the importance of scouting – it’s a roadmap for young boys, a chance to expose them to new ideas, and realize there’s a right way to interact and solve problems. Weather Merit Badge is largely responsible for my curiosity about all-things-weather, I still live it every day! Minnesota Medical Foundation. www.mmf.umn.edu The University of MN is doing some amazing, cutting-edge research on so many fronts, fostering medical breakthroughs that touch so many of us here in Minnesota. Sharing and Caring Hands. http://www.sharingandcaringhands.org/ There are so many worthy charities out there, but for 25 years Mary Jo Copeland has been serving Minnesota’s poorest families with passion and determination. 93 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to people in need. Conservation Minnesota. http://www.mnweathercenter.org/weather/ We hear so much about quality-of-life, but it’s true. Take it from someone who grew up on the east coast and spent a few years in Chicago. What we have here is extraordinary – and precious. It won’t stay this pristine for future generations without considerable effort. Conservation Minnesota is dedicated to preserving our environment, our lakes and forests & farmland – the Minnesota we know and love. |
