This may sound terrible, but I only donate to the United Way through work because they make you feel so cheap if you don't. All my donations have and always will go to an animal organization. My animal fund bank, is a jar that receives a dollar or two every time I see an animal killed on the highway, hear or witness animal abuse of any kind or any other circumstance that causes trauma to animals. Unfortunately I usually have over a hundred dollars at the end of the year that gets donated to Best Friends and other animal organizations. Some day I hope my jar will be empty at the end of the year, then that $100 will go happily to my favorite organization which is Best Friends in Kanab, Utah.
