OK Everyone,
We would like for you to take some time and review the links below and then answer the poll above. POLL VOTING WILL END NOON ON SATURDAY, OCT. 16TH
http://www.wish.org/ (*allows online donation in Honor of ) - The Make a wish Foundation will send a card to the person you place a donation in honor of, with a min. $20 donation.
http://www.countrycares.org/ ( *allows online donation in Honor of ) - Country Cares (St. Jude's) has it set up were if Fan Clubs/Fans donate to in honor of an artist receive a special certificate given on behalf of their fans, as well as recognition during the Country Music Association Music Festival.
This site is also already set up for Fan Club donations and you can see the details with that on this page. http://countrycares.org/content/fan_club_challengefull.cfm
http://www.toysfortots.org/home/about.html
- Most more then likely have heard of Toys for Tots as well and they do work closely with the US Marines.
And finally...
http://www.flahurricanefund.org/
- Most are well aware of the hardship the people in Florida has been through this summer, here is a link for how assist can be sent.
***** Just so all you know.. all four allow online donations but we will have other means by which you can make a donation through paypal or direct mail, no matter which organization. If you have any questions drop me an email or PM and I will try to help you.
We would like this to be not only an honor for Josh and help for the organization chosen but also kind of a way we can help get Josh's name out to the masses even more.

I voted Toys for Tots simply because of their close affiliation to the Marine Corps, but any of those charities would be great.

ditto. i thought it would be great b/c he's a (no longer on active duty) Marine, and they work so much to give underprivileged kids a christmas, and josh's little girl is fortunate enough to have a family that can give her a christmas. gosh, i'm so cheesy.

Thanks Becky 
I voted for Country Cares.. I love the fact of how great it is set up to not only help sick children but their families. I was in Memphis several times and have been very impressed with St. Jude's. I also like how they honor the artist when Fans band together. I had thought of Toys for Tots and I think it is something I will personal still do something for but I just thought this is a new part in Josh's life and career and this would be a great way to help him as well as others. I have also talked to a few nurses that rave about the care that St. Jude's gives not only the child who is ill but care and love they extend to the families.

Okay, everyone...we really want this donation thing to work!!! So vote and once the votes are in we'll start doing the donations!!! Even if we chose to send money directly to the charity via online....Robin, Casey and myself still want to keep track of the donations so we can do special things on our end!! We'll get more into that when the time comes, until then....VOTE away!!!
