			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have money lying around that you think might be better served by being given to charity?</p>
<p>Well, I encourage you to give some of it to the people I just spent a good chunk of the evening assisting with a fundraiser, <a href="http://www.fsma.org" target="_blank">Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy</a>.</p>
<p>You can find out a lot more about the work they do from that website, but the short version is you can support a group that helps a lot of parents and kids be better able to cope with a devastating disease, and help fund the search for a cure.</p>
<p>And it&#8217;s tax-deductible! Who doesn&#8217;t love a good tax deduction? I know I do. Finally, I shall quote <a href="http://www.avenueq.com/" target="_blank">Avenue Q</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>When you give to a worthy cause<br />
You&#8217;ll feel as jolly as Santa Claus<br />
When you help others,<br />
you can&#8217;t help helping yourself.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Now give &#8216;em some money.</p>
