Here’s what Mobile Commerce Daily thinks of the holidays

We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season and a great 2010.

Your time and help made our year and gives us hope that mobile’s stocking has many goodies for all mobile marketers and retailers.

In this season of giving, our team put together a list of some of their favorite causes and why they support them. Please give these charities and nonprofits a second look as they make someone else’s day.

“With research and patient care under one roof, St. Jude is where some of today’s most gifted researchers are able to do science more quickly.

“Text HOPE to short code 90999 to make a $5 donation.”

CancerCare
http://www.cancercare.org

“CancerCare is a nonprofit organization that offers free counseling and support services to cancer patients and their loved ones. Their goal is to help those who feel as if there is nowhere else to turn.

“CancerCare is a place that touches my heart, especially at this time, because my mother passed away from cancer 21 years ago during the holiday season.

“As someone who has been personally affected by this disease, I find that the best way to prevent more lives lost would be to donate to this wonderful cause.

“So many people are taken away prematurely by the disease and I believe by supporting this cause you are not only helping those living with cancer, but their family and friends as well.”

The Humane Society of the United States
http://www.humanesociety.org

“As a vegetarian and animal lover, the Humane Society of the United States is a cause I am proud to support.

“My family adopted my childhood dog, Roxanne, from our local shelter when I was in middle school. Formerly known around town as the “dumpster dog,” she has brought untold love and joy to our lives.

“Cruelty to animals is no joke. Pets from all walks of life deserve to be cared for by a loving family and Humane Societies nationwide help in every way possible.”
– Chris Harnick
