thistlechaserI rarely ask for people to click on links. I think I've done it only one other time in the history of my LJ. But this one is close to my heart, so here goes.
I first learned of Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society through a news story: Their shelter had a fire during the night, and while the firemen were able to save the dogs, all the cats were in cages and the firemen didn't have time to get them out. Every poor kitty in the shelter died, and the cat shelter itself was a total loss.
That was years ago and they've since rebuilt. I donated to them, so I'm on their mailing list now. They sent out word that Chase Bank is having a contest: Five million dollars will be given to non-profits, based on number of votes -- the group with the most votes gets $250K, and it goes down from there.
You do need a Facebook account to vote, unfortunately. If you're the rare person who doesn't have one (like me!), having a fake one is handy for this sort of thing.

Thanks. :)
