John Travolta and Olivia Newton John's Reunion Album for Charity: This Christmas

December 25th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities

I admit, there was a time when I was mildly obsessed with finding some YouTube clips of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John performing together again. Their chemistry in 1978’s Grease was  one of the best in musicals of that era, not to mention the chemistry and fun of the case, and both of course […]

Macy's Letters to Santa Campaign and How To Get a Real Response from the North Pole

November 16th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities

Every day on my commute home through Manhattan I pass by the Macy’s on 34th Street. This time of year is always fun, because they’ve just launced the new store windows. Sadly, this year they’ve decided not to put up the multi-window display they do every year that recreates scenes from the classic Miracle on 34th […]

Charity Bracelets at KiteChild

November 13th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities

Another said that every 2.2 seconds, a child loses a parent somewhere in the world. Another said that by 2015 it is projected that there […]

Free Plants vs. Zombies for Halloween from PopCap Games and the American Dental Association

October 28th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities

My wife got me hooked on Plants vs. Zombies on my iPad a while ago, and since then I’ve been hooked. Over 120 million people around the world play it too. It looks like a complicated game, at least compared to relatively brainless (no pun intended) games like Angry Birds and Bejeweled. But once you […]

Gifts from India that help Indian Artisans and Children

June 25th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities, Developing Areas, Fair Trade

I had the pleasure of hearing from Linda at Sitara Collections (Sitara is the Sanskrit word for “Star” or “Morning Star”). Sitara is a remarkable site that sells jewelry, leather goods, accessories, Ayurvedic beauty supplies, and other gifts directly from India. Seems that everywhere you go, you see low-quality, mass-produced imitation jewelry in department stores. […]
