There’s some report or study that says that the act of giving activates the pleasure center of the brain as much as buying something for yourself does. Here’s how you can feel good and help out some kids simultaneously.
All of the blogs in the Gawker network—Gawker, Deadspin, Kotaku, Jezebel, io9, Jalopnik, Fleshbot and Lifehacker—have teamed up to raise money for kids in need (not needy kids, though that’s kind of similar).
To donate, just visit the Donors Choose link and find the classroom projects you feel is most deserving of help, and give them a little something. Trust me, it’ll make you feel good. Plus, you can be the smug guy around your office that works in the fact that you donated into various conversations. [Donors Choose]
