Your choice of charity Bay Shore (law, food, association)

[Bwell9]

Currently I am planning a community event which will help raise money for charity. The event will involve local businesses and a raffle to help raise funds. And we will be accepting can good donations for the local food banks.

What are some of your favorite charities?

National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial Fund: National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund: National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund

Wounded Warrior Project: Wounded Warrior Project - Wounded Warrior Project

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Let us know when, I'd be happy to come down and show some support.

I'll second St. Judes. It's truly a wonderful charity that never turns any child away.

Thank you for that detailed, lucid and well-thought out response.

St. Jude
Saint Francis Breadline (my dad's favorite charity)
Lustgarten foundation for pancreatic cancer (My dad died from this )
American diabetes association (lost several relatives to this disease)

If it's around this time of year, Long Island Cares, Island Harvest, and Lighthouse Mission could always use as many donations as they could get.

Wounded Warriors and St. Jude are my two favorites. Before the final choice is made be sure to check the Guide-star foundation report for the charities in the running.
