Yesterday I told you a little about giving and things that my family does. I also told you that Sam’s had some things going on and said I would be back today to fill you in. So here it is…

Sam’s Club has launched the Giving Made Simple campaign. Giving Made Simple will be splitting up 4 Million dollars among 8 different organizations within 2 categories: Youth Education and Entrepreneurship. They need you to vote to help decide what portion of the $4 Million dollars goes to which Charity!

These are great and very important organizations! The great thing is…they will all receive a portion of the $4 Million!

Each participating organization will receive a portion of the $4 million donation based on Member votes. The top vote-getter in each category will receive $1 million each, the second-place winners will receive $500,000 each, and the third- and fourth-place winners will receive $250,000 each.
