Want to double your Haiti donation? Go to the AARP Foundation. You don't have to be a member.
This is legit, and welcomed. The kids need it, too, of course, but let's face it - this will help all families. Your chance to turn your 50 bucks into a hundred:

In response to this tragedy in Haiti, AARP Foundation is proud to be working with HelpAge USA and its international parent organization HelpAge International, to rush emergency relief to the older and aged victims of the quake. AARP will match any gift you make to the AARP Foundation Haiti Relief Fund dollar for dollar up to $500,000. Any amount you give will be automatically doubled and go twice as far to provide relief.

Again, you don't have to be a member. Just donate, and your donation will be doubled. Get in on it now, because it's up to a half million dollars. Whatever you think of AARP - and I know it's a mixed bag here - this is about a legit shot to double your money. I did, and I'm glad I did: http://www.aarp.org/about_aarp/aarp_foundation/

7. K&R my own post, because twice the money is worth it. Can we keep it kicked?
No other motive here than to get to that $500,000 match mark. There is work to be done.

9. Thank you. Damn, I hate to see good money go to waste.
For those who have not yet donated, or who wish to donate again, this is the way to go. I hate to see it disappear. Maybe the Mods can put it somewhere. That's a lot of money at stake.

11. I don't think they have reached the match yet, so you can still double your donation.
I hate bumping my own posts, but in this case, I will make an exception. It's too important not to do so. Got to max out that half-million.

13. Thanks for this info.
I wasn't sure who to donate through. I liked the double incentive.
