Charity Giveaway - Winners Announced!

We asked you to nominate your favorite non-profit organizations who you felt deserved to win a $300 donation this holiday period, and were quite blown away by how many emails we received! It was so difficult choosing just 7 winners that we also chose another 7 charities to receive a $50 donation.

Thanks to everyone who made a nomination. All the charities suggested do such incredible work and it was touching reading all your mails.
