With help from our sponsors, myYearbook donates to Child Help (www.ChildHelp.org). Child Help helps victims of child abuse and neglect through prevention and treatment. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline, 1-800-4-A-CHILD, gives children, parents, and other adults the ability to seek help. Child Help also provides education services for children and adults to raise awareness and supply children with skills to avoid and flee unsafe situations, and supplies residential treatment centers for neglected, abused, and at-risk children.

By using your lunch money, you can help these children find loving, nurturing, and safe homes.

As we head into the year 2009, we are faced with the uncertainty of a troubled economy and dramatic changes in some of the "stable" items in our lives. Unfortunately, child abuse tends to increase when standards of living change and that creates stressors on family systems. Parents or Guardians with little coping skills strike out in frustration to those that are vulnerable. We anticipate seeing more cases of child abuse coming through the doors of the Childhelp Children's Center. Abused and neglected children need our help and so do their non-offending family members. We are prepared to help those in need but we need your help more than ever before. The unexpected donation from myYearbook helps us help children in need. Thank you for making a difference in a child's life.

I just marvel at the founders ingenuity at creating Causes.

This year millions of people will die of cancer. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in Western countries, exceeded only by heart disease. In the UK, US, Canada, and Australia, cancer accounts for 1 of every 4 deaths.

With your help and the help of our sponsors, myYearbook is making monetary contributions to Alex's Lemonade Stand. Alex's Lemonade Stand is a charity which raises money for childhood cancer research.

Working with myYearbook has been very easy and a pleasure. The Causes application is giving young people a simple and effective way to make a difference in a cause they care about. In the two months that we have participated with the Causes application a steady stream of revenue has come in to ALSF that will help us fund additional research projects in the coming year.

myYearbook donates to Beyond Shelter (www.beyondshelter.org). Beyond Shelter is an organization that supplies housing to homeless individuals and helps them improve their self confidence and adjust back to a normal life. Beyond Shelter also helps families find employment and end the cycle of homelessness and poverty by addressing their long term needs.

Beyond Shelter's "Housing First" Program for Homeless Families is widely recognized as a model for ending and preventing family homelessness. With your help, we can help homeless people by giving one blanket at a time.

Just at a time when charitable contributions are down, we were both surprised and delighted to be selected to part of this wonderful charity program.

Today, we are looking for new, innovative fundraising methods to support our work. Using a social networking site like myYearbook will enable us to reach out to others across the country who care about the lives of vulnerable families and their children - and will help to significantly increase our donor base.

When we received our first donation check from myYearbook, it was a wonderful surprise. We are looking forward to working with this social networking site to increase visibility about the work we are doing to end family homelessness, both locally and nationally.

Through our sponsors, myYearbook is able to donate to Books for Africa (www.booksforafrica.org). Books for Africa sends text to different countries around Africa to benefit students from elementary school to grad school. Some of the people and schools that receive these books have never had books before. Since Books For Africa started they have given more than 18 million books to Africa.

It only costs 38 cents to send a book to Africa, and through donating your lunch money, you can end the book famine in Africa.

myYearbook has helped Books for Africa to ship many, many books to the children of Africa to help them increase their literacy. As we can send a donated book to Africa for 50 cents, every donation made by myYearbook and its supporters really goes a long, long way

The Causes team has been great to work with. We are excited to be a part of the program.

Between 6 and 8 million animals are dropped off at animal shelters every year, but only 25-35% of them will eventually be adopted. This leads animal shelters to put some animals to sleep in order to create more space and save money on food, grooming, and other pet necessities.

The North Shore Animal League is the world's largest no kill animal shelter. Since its start, NSAL has rescued more than 1 million animals and found loving homes for them. By donating to NSAL through myYearbook and our sponsors, you can provide dogs with much needed food and keep them healthy and safe until they are adopted into loving and nurturing homes.

The Lunch Money program is an innovative and exciting way for your supporters to learn more about various causes and charity organizations. As the world's largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption agency, we're honored to partner with myYearbook, and your dedicated and passionate members that actively support animal rescue. We're excited about the opportunity to introduce teens and young adults to North Shore Animal League America, and are encouraged by the strong support young adults continue to demonstrate on this site. We're confident that the youth of today will play a very critical role in helping to stop animal cruelty and end euthanasia, and look forward to realizing that goal with the embers of myYearbook.

North Shore Animal League America rescues, nurtures and adopts approximately 20,000 animals annually, and the Lunch Money donated by myYearbook supporter allows us to continue that important mission. Each month, we hope to save even more animals' lives through your generosity. As the voice of the animals that cannot thank you themselves, we are so grateful for your partnership and support.
