I also voted for ALAFA, LIFEbeat, and Variety - The Children's Charity. I was hoping Heath's family would name a charity, but I guess that's not going to happen. In the event they do, that would be my No. 1 choice.
I have to agree with Chrissi about the flowers. My mom always tells me, "Send me flowers while I'm alive; don't wait till I'm dead," so that may be coloring my decision here. While annual flowers are a very lovely gesture and certainly a very sentimental one, I think the money collected should be used for something more substantial than flowers. I would like the money to do some good in the world and honor Heath that way. I would, however, be agreeable to the compromise suggested by Chrissi about flowers on Heath's birthday this year.
After we have narrowed down the charities, I would like the money to go to just one cause, not two, or even three, so it can make more of an impact.
I agree with Elle that it would be helpful to know just how much of each dollar donated is spent on the administrative end for each charity.
