Shriners Hosptial in Springfield, MA, as well as 5 other Shriners Hospitals, are slated to close because of fewer contributions - their sole income. As you may know my mother worked there for more than 20 years, my brother had dozens of (FREE!) surgeries there, I volunteered many of my school vacation hours there... it's a place that has been in my life since I was a child. Please consider donating to this amazing organization, either through this link or on your own; and may I also ask that you encourage others to do the same. Please?

- Yes, Shriner's has always been innovative and has thought outside the box!
Wait!! I forgot! There IS no box, except what the limited mind creates. And Shriner's has known how to avoid The Box!!
Congrats on the Purple Star!!

- Congrats on your purple star - it's a most deserving lens for a wonderful cause. Instead of car companies the govt. should be spending money on worthwhile charities such as the Shriners Hospital.

- You really did a super job on this lens. This is some valuable information about a great organization. We don't live far from Greenville SC and everyone around here has been so upset at the thoughts of our Shriners Hospital closing. I hope they are going to be able to work out something so it can stay open.

- Great lens on an important charity that has helped many. With donations declining due to the economy, perhaps non profits need to consider raising funds though cause marketing. Donors can support their chosen non profit without it costing them anything extra.
