I want to thank everyone who took the time to vote to help select which charity to donate to. The vote ended Saturday at midnight, and the winner was Doctors without Borders, which narrowly edged out the Make a Wish Foundation. I thought all the options were great choices, and I am happy to send the $100 donation to Doctors Without Borders. A matching donation will be made by PT from PT Money. Thanks for helping make this happen!
