I hope you'll take a look at the sites and choose the charity you think is the most deserving. (Last year, Strangercrombie earned $50,000.) If you'd like to look up the charities' financial information, the State of Washington Charitable Solicitations and Trusts website is over here. Voting will continue through noon tomorrow.
