week 3 EOC 2

Here is three great and in my opinion awesome organizations that with half of there profits or if not all goes to charity.

1. Here is a organization or company that takes antique shows or auctions and turns them into charity profits. In my opinion i think this is a really good and profitable idea because with all the popularity in antique shows on TV also shows like Pawn Stars and Pickers and many other popular shows that just blew up with popularity. Not only are the auctions and antique shows fun to go to but can also bring in lots of money and also bring life to very treasurer-able pieces from past century.Melrose & Johns has several objectives.  One is to provide a successful venue for dealers to profit.  Another is to help charities to reinvigorate established shows, or to revive dead ones.  We must also present antiques to a new generation of buyers in this rapidly-changing 21st century marketplace.http://www.melrosejohns.com/fundraiser.html


2. Here is another GREAT!!! organization for low income students to be able to get instruments and use them in class or music schools. Ear Candy is a non profit organization that helps bring to the low income family's music class and instruments to be able to use and be educated in the arts ware the budget cuts and kids unable to participate can and affordabley continue the education. "Ear Candy Charity is based in Phoenix, AZ and our mission is to Provide Youth Access to Music Education.  Arizona is currently 49th out of 50 states in per person educational funding and arts programs are the first to get cut.  We fulfill our mission through Instrument Drives®, Backstage Class® field trips and Community Partnerships:
Instrument Drives®: To address budget shortfalls in Music programming, Ear Candy created Instrument Drives® to collect gently used instruments for children who otherwise cannot afford them. The process is simple: Individuals from the community donate instruments at valley Fire Stations, Ear Candy collects the instruments and then works collaboratively with schools to place them in the hands of low income students. The Journey of the Instrument is completed when the original donor is notified of the school or program where the instrument they donates has been placed". http://www.earcandycharity.org/Our-Mission.aspx 

3.  I like this next organization because it really hits on the topic of breast cancer to the young generation. By providing something hip and trendy and an easy way of identifying the awareness of breast cancer this non profit organization really does a good job of that specially with the younger generations and explains how serious this disease is and also what a better way to spread through the most popular social networking generation out there. "The Keep A Breast Foundation™ is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to help eradicate breast cancer by exposing young people to methods of prevention, early detection and support. Through art events, educational programs and fundraising efforts, we seek to increase breast cancer awareness among young people so they are better equipped to make choices and develop habits that will benefit their long-term health and well-being".http://www.keep-a-breast.org/about/#mission
