'Tis the season for giving and we love giving back to those in need. During the 12 Days of Holidays, we’ll be running some charity events and want your help picking which charity to use. We've chosen 4 charities that we feel give back in great measure to people, and want you to cast your vote above to ultimately decide which one we should use.

Here are the 4 charities and a little bit about what efforts they do as well as links to their websites to learn more:

Red Cross (http://www.redcross.org/) – As part of a worldwide movement that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war, the American Red Cross distinguishes itself by also aiding victims of devastating natural disasters. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services, always with the aim of preventing and relieving suffering.

Doctors without Borders (http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/) – Doctors without Borders provides independent, impartial assistance in more than 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters.

UNICEF (http://www.unicef.org/) – UNICEF was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. We believe that we can, together, advance the cause of humanity.

Child's Play (http://www.childsplaycharity.org/) – Child's Play is a game industry charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with toys and games in our network of over 70 hospitals worldwide.

Hurry up and vote early, polling close on December 21st!

Way to make it hard to pick just one.

LOL, Nisa. Yeah, they didn't make it easy to choose one. But I think it's a great idea.

Can't really choose one of them.
I truly believe all those deserve in same way all the support possible.
I'd really like OS could keep all of them just splitting in equal parts what it's gained from those events.
Sorry for my english (falling asleep atm) lols QQ.

This is a great idea and yes the choice is a hard one. The red cross is good, but I find that they go back to those they've helped and ask them pay it back, so I didn't choose them. Child's Play is also good, but children in hospitals have someone looking out for them. I love UNICEF and everything they stand for and if I could choose 2, this would be one of them! Doctors Without Borders to me is the most important one, without medical help, all the rest is useless!!! Too many people in this day and age are without medical help for too many reasons and any medical professional that is willing to give up their valuable time and expertise to help those who normally would just be allowed to die, deserves all our support!!!!!

Thank you for making this possible!

Everything for a healthy drug & violence-free future for children. And that made me sound like Miss Universe... But yeah, UNICEF is the one I think it should be donated the most.

This is really nice, and it is really difficult to choose just one.

Is it not possible that Outspark can take a sum of money and split it 4 ways? D:

come on Child's Play.
Let's boost our kids morale during Christmas time <3

Honestly, I had a hard time choosing but gifts for kids during this time of year brings them such a joy. Year round the other are great, but lets give them a lil Christmas =)
