Caring Causes: PCH Give Back

It is that time of year again when brands start to launch their giving programs for the holiday season.  Publishers Clearing House just launched their Give Back program for the holiday season and will be giving away more than $100,000. They are quadrupling the amount they gave last year and focusing on three key charities (ASPCA, Susan G. Komen and St. Jude). Fans get to vote on which charity wins which amount of cash. Since they also know how much their fans love to win they are sweetening the deal and giving away a $500 cash prize every time they hit 5,000 votes. So more votes means more prizes!

About the charities:
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's lifesaving mission is to find cures for children battling cancer and other deadly diseases, and thanks to donations, no family ever pays St. Jude for anything. St. Jude founder Danny Thomas believed that "no child should die in the dawn of life."

Susan G. Komen works to end breast cancer in the U.S. and throughout the world through ground-breaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 30 countries.

The ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) is the first animal welfare organization in North America and works to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals. The ASPCA is a national leader in the areas of anti-cruelty, community outreach and animal health services.
