I vote for…
Today marks the official launch of CommuniCause. It allows the community to nominate and vote for their favorite charitable organziation. The winner, to be randomly selected from the top ten organizations based on votes, will receive a $25,000 social media makeover from us!
There were a few organizations that I would like to have voted for, but I’ve decided to vote for an organization that is fighting a disease that has touched me and my family very personally, Alzheimer’s disease. My Grandmother, Anne Falkiewicz, was a victim of Alzheimers.
Anne was loving and thoughtful individual, who adored her family and friends. As a devout catholic, she was heavily involved in her community and church. Loving and helping those around her was her passion and mission in life.
As the disease progressed, Anne slowly faded away. It seems so cruel that she spent the last years of her life unable to recognize the people she had devoted her entire life to. She passed away in August of 2006.
I hope that one day, with all of our support, a cure for this terrible affliction can be found.
Please consider voting for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Mark,
Thanks for dropping by. Habitat for Humanity is a great cause that resonates with MindComet in particular. We donated our services to the Orlando chapter and redesigned their website.

Thank you for this investment in the global community. With your track record it will be wonderful to see how greatly the organization benefits. Kudos to MindComet for freely launching a nonprofit into the new millenium.

How would you feel if you and your young child had to sleep in a hallway of an already-full home and keep your clothes in a bag? That’s how one of our Granville County Habitat for Humanity homeowners and her child used to live.
Vote for us so we can get the word out about Granville County Habitat for Humanity.
