Hey Tilters, I am working on a Forum Charity Series (that will start in about a month). It will run about 20-25 weeks, and will include a leaderboard, and some nice prizes for the top finishers. I need your help in selecting the 20-25 (international) charities that we will play for. Any suggestions?

I'd like to see support for animal charities like the World Wildlife Fund. I like animals more than I like people. If not animal charities, then women's charities. Breast cancer research. Cervical cancer research. Battered women's shelters. Doesn't really matter which one - they all need support!

Well Gypsy's list is pretty exhaustive, but I'd add an AIDS charity to that group.

I think refusing to support charities because you like to kill small animals says a lot about the content of your character.
