Yes, I just quoted a Disney song.
The title lyric comes from the Disney Channel's "Send It On" song that's part of "Disney's Friends for Change" Green Project. It really is amazing what people can do if they come together.
A perfect example of this is the fan based organization 11:11AM. What started out as a group of fans who were scattered across the country, has turned into a turnkey operation that raises money and awareness for pediatric cancer research. Yes I happen to be friends with the treasurer, but that's besides the point. They're out there getting the word out and doing something.
Another non-profit that I learned about recently is a Los Angeles based non-profit called Urban Possibilities. A new co-worker introduced me to. Los Angeles is the homeless capital of America and her organization helps the homeless rehabilitate by giving them the opportunity to learn life-skill tools.
These aren't people who are celebrities who get behind a cause for one reason or another. They're real people just like you and me who make a difference.
Maybe I'm just in one of my "do-good" moods again. But I feel like we're all on this planet for a reason and we've got to do our part to make the best of it.
