Do you have money lying around that you think might be better served by being given to charity?

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, Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

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.

And it’s tax-deductible! Who doesn’t love a good tax deduction? I know I do. Finally, I shall quote Avenue Q:

When you give to a worthy cause
You’ll feel as jolly as Santa Claus
When you help others,
you can’t help helping yourself.

Now give ‘em some money.

Shameless plug time!

For crew gifts every season, we do shirts with pithy quotes from the lead character of the show. Everywhere people wear them, we get people asking us where they can get one.

Starting today, you too (or your friend who loves our show too) can own your very own pithy quote shirt, and help raise money for the National Alliance on Mental Illness in the process.
