1. Million Dollar Project By: Josh Causey

2. Charity Today I gave 10% of my money to charity. I picked Toys for Tots. Usually people drop off a wrapped toy to a pickup center for the U. S. Marine Corps, but you can also donate money online. Over 97% of my donations goes to the mission of providing toys, books, and other gifts to less fortunate children. I now have $900,000 left to spend.
