Wowwww I am soooooo happy yehaaaaa
Not lame, daunting to get so many votes. The number one charity, honestly does far more daring and important work, affecting far more victimized people than we can imagine. FC is nice, but it doesn’t compare.
not everyone can have facebook if it wouldnt have been facebook i am sure it would have won 1st
nice that FC was in the running at all, and even nicer that it got 4th place,but only 50k votes for the only jewish institution? kinda lame.

its so exciting, 4th place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mazal tov!!
hopefully FC will make it into 1st place next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4th out of 100 !
Only Jewish contender!
