Doctors Without Borders
{Doctors_Without_Borders}
 Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international independent medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural and man-made disasters, and exclusion from health care in more than 60 countries. A private, non-profit organization, Doctors Without Borders was founded in 1971 as the first non-governmental organization to both provide emergency medical assistance and bear witness publicly to the plight of people it assists.
Michael J. Fox Foundation
{Michael_J_Fox_Foundation}
 Over five million people worldwide are living with Parkinson’s disease — a chronic, degenerative neurological disorder whose symptoms typically progress from mild tremors to complete physical incapacitation. There is no known cure for Parkinson’s disease. Current treatments mask symptoms but do not alter or slow disease progression.
In the United States, 60,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year alone. The annual economic cost of Parkinson’s in the U.S. is estimated to exceed $25 billion.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to ensuring the development of better treatments, and ultimately a cure, for Parkinson’s disease through an aggressively funded research agenda. The Foundation has funded almost $157 million in research to date.
A Drink for Tomorrow
{Action_Against_Hunger}
 A Drink for Tomorrow (ADFT) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that raises awareness of the lack of access to clean water and sanitation in impoverished communities around the globe, as well as funds to provide clean, safe water and sanitation to those who lack these basic human rights.
Lack of access to clean water and sanitation--essential tools in the war against poverty--has physical, social, and economic ramifications. At any given time, almost half of all people living in impoverished countries are suffering from a health problem caused by lack of clean water, undermining their ability to go to school or work. Every 20 seconds a child dies from a preventable water-related disease, and unless urgent action is taken, over 76 million people will perish from water-related disease by 2020. Major development organizations agree that clean water projects are one of the most effective ways of saving lives and one of the most cost-effective investments in disease prevention.
ADFT raises awareness of this dire situation and generates funds through business partnerships, promotions, and events with community groups and the general public, providing people with ways to contribute to a solution. This critical funding is channeled to on-the-ground partner organizations whose experts implement water projects and teach sanitary habits, benefiting those among the nearly one billion people worldwide who lack clean water.
