Question by thesoccerchick87: How can we find local diabetes or cancer foundations to donate to?
We would like to donate money in someone’s name, to a cancer foundation or diabetes foundation or something along those lines. Unfortunately, everyone wants to go online these days and we do not want to donate to a foundation over the internet, we would like to do it in person and have a proof of donation (I know that there are printable ones if you donate online, but that requires giving someone your credit card number).
