I am a HUGE fan of U2, and love the charities and organizations that they have started and helped fund, such as One, Red, Amnesty International etc.... These are amazing and I think will really make a difference if taken seriously. I try to participate as much as I can in any little way that I can, who else takes part in this or any other charities out there?

If 10% of the average $907 that Americans spent on Christmas gifts went to children in need, 42 million children could be helped for an entire year according to statistics provided to me during an interview with World Vision.
This year, I conducted an experiment, and asked for donations to World Vision and Heifer.org instead of Christmas gifts. Many folks simply chose to give me gifts anyway, but several did make donations instead, resulting in $137 going to these charities.
I also have a website where I sell art to support these two fine charitable organizations. The next time you need art for your office, church, or home walls, please consider my website. My personal favorite of my own work is Sunset over Florence12. There are two other artists/photographers who are participating on my website with donated works.

Although I haven't contributed to the charities you have mentioned I do contribute to the ones that are close to my heart, The Cancer Society, The Shriners, Heart and Stroke, Hospital for Sick Kids, Diabetes Foundation and also several animal organizations. I donate what I can, sometimes it's just alittle or perhaps my time but I feel I do my part.

I am totally on board with the (Red) campaign. I have thee (Red) shirts and I'm planning to purchase another for a friend for his birthday. The shirts at Gap are so cute and it's for a great cause. Go, Bono, go!
