This month’s program: “Save Lives Using Reason and Compassion”

Save lives, using reason and compassion, by attending today’s event! For every participant, $10 will be donated to a charity, and best of all, it’s free for you - the donations will be sponsored by an external party.

What we will be doing is a “Giving Game.” In this event, participants get to talk about their personal motivations for donating to charity, consider what methods we should use to select a charity, and what metrics are most valuable for evaluating the impact of a charity.

We will then vote on four charities to give a donation:

1. Choices for Domestic Violence, http://choicescolumbus.org/, an organization that helps victims of domestic abuse in Central Ohio;

2. GiveDirectly, https://www.givedirectly.org/, an organization that transfers cash directly to poor people in Kenya and Uganda;

3. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio, http://bbbscolumbus.org/, an organization that provides volunteer mentoring to youth in Central Ohio; and

4. Against Malaria Foundation, https://www.againstmalaria.com/, an organization that combats malaria through distributing bed nets.

For every participant, $10 will be donated to one of these four charities, so your participation will literally be contributing to saving the lives of people either in the Columbus area or in Africa. We hope that you will be able to join us and to help save lives by using reason and compassion!

Join us at 11:30am for pizza; the meeting begins at 12noon.
