By: Larkin/Volpatt Communications After more than 20,000 votes the top three causes chosen by fans were Help the Homeless, Protect the Animals, and Support the Troops. Since then, the PCH Charity Committee has chosen one charity to represent each of these causes for another round of voting. This second round will decide which charity will receive the $25,000 donation. The three contenders are: • StandUp For Kids represents the homeless category and is an all volunteer run not-for-profit organization founded in 1990 to help rescue homeless and at-risk youth. • The ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) represents protection of animals. The ASPCA is the first humane organization established in the Americas and serves as the nation’s leading voice for animal welfare. More than one million supporters strong, the ASPCA’s mission is to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States. • Operation Homefront represents support of the troops and is a non-profit that provides emergency financial and other assistance to the families of our service members and wounded warriors. The charity to receive the most votes at the end of the four week voting period will receive $25,000, while the remaining two charities are guaranteed $2,500 each.
