Default St. Jude's
I just got a fundraising letter from them addressed to my mom. I guess she must have donated to them at some point. My mom died in 2004. She never lived with me and I have changed addresses twice since she died.

Not complaining about St. Jude's, actually you have to admire how thorough they are. But damn.

I’m hoping I don’t have to donate $100 if Clemson loses tonight. I will donate it and gloat when Clemson wins.

First choice for donation: Through anyone who will match it.
Second choice: Through CF (well, at least the last 11 years).
Third choice: On my own direct.

I found years ago that donating directly maximizes the amount of "touches" I get about additional donations, so that is the last resort. I care little or nothing about "tags", so if I can find any organization that will even partially match my donation, it goes through them.

Savewave doesn't know my mom's name or my address. In fact, CF knows a lot less about me than they think they do.

If i wasn't in exile i would have done a St.Jude bet with FARYFINN and Badger97. FARY would have backed down but i think Badger 97 might do it.
