Organisers hope more than 100,000 will enroll to help their charity of choice.

Individuals or teams will be able to participate in up to 30 types of sport though the scheme.

To complete each sports challenge, people must participate in at least three hours of coached activity.

The Gold Challenge website gives training advice and provides key information guides on the different sports involved.

Bet on Olympics events and teams

Do you know of any charities that directly help people with spondylolisthesis? I have a family member who suffers from this condition, and I’d like to support a charity that works to do research on this or that helps people who have been diagnosed with it. Thank you.

Does anybody know what charities in the Philadelphia area accept furniture donations? I’m looking for a charity that would be able to pick up the furniture. Tax-deductible is a plus, as is a charity that would be able to pick up the furniture w/ relatively short notice.

Thanks so much to anybody w/ info!

Allyson asked:


Hello everybody.

In about a month I am running a benefit concert to raise money for charity. Our members seem to favor a foreign cause in Asia, of which we have limited information (mainly in Chinese). How would this work? Is there any way to check that the money gets where we want it to?

I’m sure there are more questions I should be asking, but I’m not sure what. If anybody has any information on donating to foreign charities, please let me know.

Thanks!

Virginia
