In honor of the holiday it is a good time to think about giving back to other organizations. If you have the means, now is a great time to donate to your favorite charity. Given that the top causes of death across pretty much all genders and races are heart disease and cancer, I would recommend the following two organizations:

American Heart Association
American Cancer Society

Of course if you have a friend or family member that has been afflicted by some disease,then you may like to adopt a charitable organization related to helping people with that illness. There are plenty of worthy charities out there. Find them and give back if you can.

If you are unsure whether a charity or non-profit that you are thinking of donating to is on the up and up, then check them out via the BBB Wise Giving Alliance.
