Happy National Doughnut Day everyone!

Even if you aren't in the US, I think you should still find a way to celebrate this very important holiday. Besides, what better time for the alien donuts to make trouble?

Ah, so Doughnut Day has fundraiser origins here as well! In Britain (I found out when theirs happened a month or two ago) they raise money for Children in Need. Or something. Now I can't find the information!

Oh, apparently those limey bastards get an entire week! National Doughnut Week is used as a fundraiser for a charity called The Children's Trust.

Between that and Children in Need and Red Nose Day (and on a more serious note, Make Poverty History), I've gained a new appreciation for how the Brits approach charitable giving.

I agree! I mean, we have our national telethons occasionally, but I don't think there's the level of involvement. I mean, for Red Nose Day the TV shows do special episodes, individual workplaces have special fundraisers and special events, schools get involved. It's pretty cool.
