"How You Can Help Others..."

Dear Business Owner:

Benjamin Franklin believed in doing well by doing well. Albert Pike said, "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal." 

Because of your successes, you have the opportunity to change lives...affecting the world long after you've drawn your last breath.

If you haven't decided how to make a difference, here are four recommendations.

1. The Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children is a wonderful provider of medical services to kids. From orthopedics to dyslexia, the hospital provides healthcare at no cost to the families.
2. Sam's Day is an annual fundraiser to end Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Once you meet Sam (or someone else with Duchenne), you'll understand how important this issue really is.
3. charity: water brings clean and safe drinking water to people living in developing countries. 100% of public donations fund water projects.
4. The Salvation Army does fantastic charity work around the world. You don't have to be religious to recognize and appreciate that this organization has one of the highest percentages of donations spent directly on helping the needy instead of using the funds for administrative expenses. 

I wish you the best in your charitable endeavors.
