A few weeks ago DC COMICS launched a campaign to raise money for charitable relief to address the hunger problems in Africa. Their campaign, WE CAN BE HEROES, is raising money for several reputable charities including Save the Children, International Rescue Committee, and Mercy Corps be offering special Batman themed items and promotions to people who make donations. WE CAN BE HEROES has been very successful exceeding its initial goal of raising $50,000 in donations to have already received more than $139,000 in contributions. Every dollar counts and can make an impact in the services these charities can provide to those in need so check out their website www.indiegogo.com/projects/dc-entertainment-we-can-be-heroes because there are just a few days left to participate.
