My Nonprofit Reviews

Be An Elf is a wonderful and vital charity that brings happiness and hope to all who benefit from it. Many are left out or in dire circumstances at holiday time and this charity fills a very important void. To bring happiness to so many at such a time of year when many are depressed and feeling hopeless is a selfless gift. Be An Elf changes lives.

It is vital that we push toward a smoke free America. Underage kids are still obtaining cigarettes and becoming smokers. This adds to health care costs, disease and missed days at work and school. Many restaurants are smoke free and the work place has largely become smoke free. But we really need to crack down on businesses that sell tobacco products to children and also issue misdemeanors to adults who purchase these products on their behalf. I don't think it is right for sports franchises to promote smoking with sponsorships, billboards, etc. This organization goes the extra mile to speak to schools to talk about the dangers of smoking. When I was in grammar school, a talk was given about smoking and that day I decided not to become a smoker. The Foundation for a Smokefree America is vitally important in keeping kids and others away from nicotine addiction and the dangerous effects of the additives in cigarettes.
