School for Champions

Champion a worthy cause

There are many problems in this world that need people to help in solving them.

If you see an injustice or someone in need and feel strongly about the situation, you can champion it as a cause and work to solve the problem.

Help out

Some can simply give donations to a charity, while others can get involved and participate in the solution.

When you champion a cause, you are making a difference. That is an important purpose of the
School for Champions.

Some causes that need champions include:

Haiti earthquake: How to help - A list of agencies in the Washington Post

Chile Earthquake - How to help and other volunteer opportunities

Doctors without Borders, providing aid to people whose survival is threatened by disasters or violence
