Hope For Haiti
This article talks about an event that was created to raise funds for disaster relief after the terrible earthquake struck Haiti. Many different celebrities arranged a benefit concert and phone-a-thon. George Clooney was the host of this event and many well-known artists performed in the concert. They sang different songs as a tribute for the for the Hope for Haiti foundation. This event is an example of one that uses celebrities our well known figures to help raise funds. I liked this source because I thought it was going to a great cause but also because I saw this event on TV and thought they did a wonderful job with putting it together.

Aubrey Week 12
Relay for Life
Even though most people have heard about Relay for Life, I thought it would be a good source to talk about because it is a perfect example of a foundation creating an event where all the funds go towards a certain cause. Relay for Life is an event organized by the American Cancer Society in which different groups and organizations come together and camp out and walk about a track in the "walk for life." I have participated in many Relay for Life events and it was such an enriching experience. I chose to talk about this source because as a walker, you can see first hand where your money is going and talk to some survivors. American Cancer Society works hard to make this a great event and has changed the lives of millions.

New Global Citizens
New Global Citizens is a foundation that is based off of student run projects around the country. Students get together and create fundraisers in their community. When they have the funds that they need to make their projects successful, the students go and physically help those in need. Whether it be going on a mission trip or going to clean up a school, there a kids all over the country working to make a difference. I really liked this source because it showed a different perspective of a way to help. I like this foundation because they perform hands on activities to help others.

Children's Investment Fund Foundation
"The Children's Investment Fund Foundation aims to demonstrably improve the lives of children living in poverty in developing countries by achieving large-scale, sustainable impact" (CIFF UK). I really liked this source because this foundation has an aim to help many different subject areas such as child survival, hunger alleviation and nutrition, educational achievement and economic development. These are just a few of the goals they have set for their foundation. They believe that every child deserves to survive in a safe environment and they will do anything to make that happen. "Our hope is that CIFF's journey will be useful for all who aim to make development more impactful".

Aubrey Week 8
I feel that this website and article is a good source for my paper because it talks about a foundation that raises money all over the country so that they can build clean water wells in third world countries. This company organizes large events in New York, Chicago and California. These events include galas and banquets with many celebrities involved and usually featured in "People" magazine. I really liked this source because it shows the depth that this company goes into to make their foundation a success. Aside from the events, they have a campaign going that is an interactive system where people all over the country can donate right on the website and in time they will be able to see pictures video of exactly where their money is going.

I think that this article will be good for you because it is from a very credible source. The CDC is the website for the Center for Disease Control and their website provides many facts and statistics that will aid you in writing your paper. It also provides examples of ways to prevent childhood obesity.
