Throughout the year, people do different things to help raise money for charities or a particular cause. Some people golf. Others run or walk for charity in marathons. Some, like the folks at Coral Interactive, grow facial hair to raise money for men's health issues. I once participated in a 24-hour poker game that raised $350 for the New England Center for Homeless Veterans. (It was our home game, and we donated money at the end of the 24 hours of play.) There are lots of creative ways to help people out. What's your favorite way to raise money or awareness for a cause? Please share why you like this method, and the causes you like to support in this thread.
