July 2007 update: Donations decided! See comment below for details. May 9, 2007: Update ~~ I'm thrilled to announce that we won! I know all the supporters who helped me win are also very grateful, on behalf of the various charities that are possibilities for the prize money donations. ~~ I'll be working on finalizing the donation allocations, so as soon as I receive the prize, I can send the money on to those organizations! Stay tuned at this page for news on which causes will receive the donations, as well as a tally of all the ones suggested -- for your own consideration for donations and support. Anyone who didn't get to vote before the contest ended, feel free to add your votes & comments now anyway. Or add a separate comment at the bottom of this page with your own favorite cause, and I'll add it to my Worthy Causes list as I have time. Original info.: Scroll down to see all 3 Help Me Choose polls. The Kaboodle contest ends April 14. If one of my polls wins for the most total votes, I will donate the ENTIRE $800 Grand Prize to non-profit causes. Mention YOUR favorite charity in the comment when you vote -- if I win, part of the prize $ will go to the cause with the most mentions in all the comments! Vote in all 3 polls to enter 3 comments for your favorite. Pass this along to other supporters of your favorite charity, and everyone else you can think of -- friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues.... Thanks! ~ For anyone who already voted in my birth poll or DC/VA/MD poll before I set up the comment-for-your-cause aspect, please vote & comment in one or both of my other polls, and mention that your cause should count for an extra poll; I'll tally the comment-votes accordingly. To see the comments on each choice for the polls below, click on the "See C..." at the bottom right of each poll box. The comments for the 2 Worthy Causes polls are combined, so you only need to click on one of them to see all those comments.

Here's an update on who's getting the money, as soon as I receive the check (expected very soon):

At the contest closing date, the leader in the combined "Worthy Causes" poll (which won the Kaboodle contest) was ICAN. This organization ALSO received the largest number of mentions in all the comments! So it will get the largest portion of the donation. But the other two groups in the "Worthy Causes" poll, So Others Might Eat and The Nature Conservancy, also got many votes, so they will each receive a donation, too. Two other organizations also received a significant number of mentions in the comments and will also receive donations: Vegan Outreach and AAFSW. Soon I will post the full tally of causes/organizations mentioned in the comments; stay tuned.

Don't forget to check out my Zazzle gallery, where proceeds further benefit some of these groups!

Thank you all for your support!
Best regards,
~ Wendy

The leading poll site-wide (as far as I've found) has over 1500 votes. Come on, folks, the whole $800 prize will go to charity if I win -- I'm the only one pledging to do that, as far as I know. (Someone please inform me if I'm wrong.) Don't forget... See more more

April 10: My leading poll has over 700 votes. Even if you're entered in the contest, if you don't think you can get that many votes by Saturday, you have nothing to lose by voting in my polls....

In addition to the organizations mentioned elsewhere on this page, other causes to be supported by the prize donation may include Vegan Outreach and Cornell College.
