Saving Lives
This past April, The New York Times reported Americans gave away a whopping $229 billion in charitable donations in 2008. In that same year, the March/April issue of The American reported that the number of dollars given in the U.S. far surpassed the volume donated by any other nation on the planet. While it may surprise you, we are a nation that volunteers time and gives money to charity. Perhaps it is how our government rewards giving through tax deductions or perhaps we just have more to give. No matter what the reason, Americans have built a wildly diverse, event-driven, multibillion dollar industry by volunteering their time and money to increase the public's awareness of important causes. For every event organized, there is a need for mementos and thank-you gifts for those who participated.
