My Favorite Charity Facebook Contest
We asked our fans to tell us what charities, organizations and ministries they're passionate about and here's what they told us. Please take a moment to read about this great causes and choose one or more by clicking the "Like" button under the photos. Each "like" counts as a vote. The charity with the most votes will receive a $100 check from Patrons Insurance Agency. Each photo comes with a link to the charity's website, so even if they do win the contest, you can still support them. Voting will end on Friday 4:00pm EST. The photos have been tagged with the names of people who submitted them. This person will be notified via Facebook that their charity has won and the check will be mailed directly to the charity.
