If you had $1 million to give away AND

I’m covering Thursday’s Excalibur and Excelsior awards,  an honor the Rockford Register Star bestows each year.

One of the questions we’ve asked this year and last of the finalists for the Excalibur award, which recognizes a local individual’s community contributions,  is this:

If you had a $1 million to give away, whom/what would you give the money to and why?

You can read the finalists’ answers to the question at the link above.

But I’m wondering if you had $1 million to give away, whom/what would you give the money to and why? Do tell in the comments section.

As for me, I’d give the money to a local youth services bureau to set up/expand ongoing parenting classes for single mothers.

Another question we asked was this: Name something positive going on in the Rock River Valley that you’d like to see further developed.

Again, read the finalists’ comments at the link above.

As for me, I’d like to see more job programs such as Youth Build developed for at-risk youth.

How ’bout you?
