Each March, Saskatchewan has a telethon on the local CTV stations. Telemiracle has been running for decades, and each year raises more than a million dollars to help residents of the province.
The local Regina paper brings an interesting story of a little girl who has turned her birthday party into a way to raise money for the telethon. It’s very similar to my idea of giving charitable donation tax gifts to adults in lieu of trinkets or other gifts at Christmas. I like her version of charity giving even better, since it takes the pressure off parents who would have to shop for a birthday gift, and it certainly could make cleaning one’s bedroom floor of toys, less of a chore.
