The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

The ASPCA was the first humane organization in the Western
Hemisphere. The mission of the ASPCA, as stated by the
founder, Henry Bergh, in 1866, is "to provide effective means for
the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States."

Juvenile Diabetes Foundation

The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its
complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes
is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly,
and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1
diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin
injections multiple times or use a pump - each day, every day of
their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not
a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and
devastating complications, which may include kidney failure,
blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation. Since its founding
in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has
awarded more than $1.4 billion to diabetes research and continues to
be the worldwide leader for research of type 1 diabetes.
