Charleston Movie Theater Hosts Free Movie for Young Cancer Patients
"Young cancer patients took in a free screening of 'Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears A Who' at Park Place Stadium Cinemas. The cinema hosted the event, opening the theater only to the patients and their families. An invitation only party is a way to let the youngsters enjoy a movie without being exposed to something that could trigger a serious problem. These parents say enjoying a 'normal' day when they are usually few and far between is nice change of pace from treatments and hospital visits. The hospital has arranged several other outings for patients and their families."

The Secret To Happiness? Giving.
ScienceNOW Daily News
20 March 2008
Think you'd be happier if you won the lottery or just had a few extra bucks in your pocket? Think again. Overturning classic economic wisdom, new research shows that it's not how much you have that matters, it's how you spend it. People who donate their dollars to charities or splurge on gifts for others are more content than those who squander all the dough on themselves.
Money does seem to buy some happiness--studies show that rich folks are a little more upbeat than the poor (ScienceNOW, 15 August 2005). But the wealth-happiness connection is weak, and economists struggle to explain why, for example, the U.S. population has not become happier as it has become more affluent. One possibility is that people simply don't spend their extra money in ways that lead to lasting cheer.

The program allows you to buy a virtual gift icon, which the recipient can proudly display on their Facebook profile, and make a charitable donation to a cool cause. All proceeds (minus a credit card transaction fee) will go to your chosen non-profit.
A $10 soccer ball icon sends funds to love.futbol, a non-profit that makes soccer fields for children in impoverished communities worldwide, and is the perfect gift for a soccer-mad Facebooker. A $15 super-cute teddy bear icon provides a real life cuddly companion to comfort a sick child at the Children's National Medical Center. $20 buys a flock of chicks to help a family in the developing world via the Heifer Project.
