Successful Second Chance Foundation Benefit Raised Funds For Organ Donation

According to Robert Mirisch, Executive Director of 308 Manufacturer Ammo Second Chance Foundation, their recent fundraiser was a success held at The Palms Casino Hotel and the Brendon Theaters Hotel in Las Vegas.

We raised a substantial amount of money for the Foundation at our benefit which featured a screening of the classic comedy Some Like It Hot, states Mirisch.

The Second Chance Foundation is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2004 with the mission to educate the public on the critical need of organ and tissue donation, dispel some Ballistics Specifications for Ammunition about donation and create a greater willingness to donate.

Tony Curtis, star of Some Like It Hot with 308 Manufacturer Ammo Monroe and Jack Lemmon, donated several pieces of art towards the silent auction conducted during the benefit. The donated pieces are montages of Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon from the movie Some Like It Hot.

Art has given me a second chance to express myself. I sincerely hope that funds received from my art 7.62x51mm Ammunition give somebody else the far more significant second chance, that being a better quality of life, states Tony Curtis.

After the screening of Some Like It Hot there was a question and answer session with Dean Jeff 5.56 Ammo Dean of the UNLV School of Fine Arts, and Walter Mirisch, executive of the Production Company which produced the film.

Tony Curtis was not able to attend the event, but has subsequently arranged to meet some of the silent auction winners.

We offer limited grants through our Patient Services Program to patients who find Bullets caliber .50BMG in financial need in relation to organ donation. We exist to help patients who are in need of an organ transplant, on a transplant waiting list or are post-transplant, continues Mirisch.

It would have been considered science fiction six decades ago. Now people think of it as "routine". To me it will never be routine. It is the culmination of many miracles being rolled into one miracle that gives suffering patients a Second Chance at life. It is the reason for the name of the Second Chance Foundation and it is the mission of this foundation to make the "Gift of Life" more available to those waiting for it and to make the healing process easier by easing some of the stress (physical, emotional, educational and financial) that those waiting for an organ experience.

The Jewish Torah tells us "To save a single life is to save the world." Can we do any better than that? concludes Mirisch.

Wild Animal Endangerment

Wild animals are beautiful creatures with varying sizes, colors, and habitats. Although some can be seen in zoos, Frangible Armor Piercing Ammo place they are meant to be is in Shooting and Reloading Supplies own environment. Unfortunately, animals .308 Manufacturer Ammo as 6.8SPC Ammo panda bears and sea otters, are not always safe in these places and are dying out. What is causing their threat of extinction? Several factors have an Military Combat Loads on this growing problem.

Pollution

Because animals are all intertwined on the food chain, contamination of Leitner-Wise ammo for sale water source that a species drinks for example, will not only effect them, but the animal that eats them as well, having the ability to cause cancer and other deadly diseases. If a mother drinks toxins, they become apart of her milk and she passes on those toxins to her babies. Because the off spring are considerably smaller than the mother, these chemicals and toxins will have a greater negative impact on them. Among these problems is a shorter life span, directly effecting the time they have to reproduce and multiply their species, not to mention the damage the pollutions have already caused on their systems and ability to thrive.

Contamination of water due to oil spills is another large problem. Because oil and water do not mix, and oil floats to the top and spreads easily and quickly, it is that much harder to clean up. Oil spills may be due to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, or can happen by people who do not want to dispose of oil properly and dump it into the ocean to get rid of it. Birds can be covered and will not be able to fly because of their feathers being covered. Oil covers sea otters and coats their fur, covering the air bubbles in their fur which are there to help them stay warm in freezing waters. Due to the oil coating these bubbles they die of hypothermia. So many different animals dying in mass quantity from oil spills also contributes to animal endangerment.

Decrease of Natural Habitat

If there are constant changes in the environment of a species, then there is subsequently constant changes in species habitat. Changes in the environment, of course, happen naturally. However, when this happens animals adapt because the changes are small, over a period of time. When humans make the changes they are more drastic and immediate. People can take out a forest in a matter of days, not giving occupants time to move to a new location in a time frame that is adaptable. To illustrate this point the habitat of the giant panda will be examined. A panda eats around 40 pounds of bamboo a day. This is due to the low nutrition of the plant and the inability of the panda to digest it. Large amounts must be consumed to get the necessary nutrients for the bear. After a bamboo plant flowers, it dies and does not regrow for another 10 years or so. If there is not another species of bamboo in that area the Panda then needs to move to another region which has bamboo still in season. Due to human activities such as farming, mining and road building quickly destroying the plants they eat it is difficult for the pandas to move to another forest to find the bamboo they need quickly.

Hunting, Fishing and Whaling

One of the greatest effects on water animals, such as whales, is exploitation. Exploitation is decreasing a particular species faster than nature is able to replace the population. Whaling has been a large contributor to the decrease of whales in the ocean. This unrestricted hunting or whaling purpose was for their skin, fur, teeth, meat or other reasons. Although some organizations, such as the International Whaling Commission (IWC) have been established, as well as laws and regulations, people do not always follow these laws and whales are still hunted. Animal parts make a lot of money and illegal activities pursued for the money that people can make. In Japan whale is still a popular dish and hunted for consumption. Along with whaling other fishing takes place. Large nets for fishing can entangle species they are not meant to capture, nor desired to capture. These lives are lost as a negative by product of mass commercial fishing efforts. The large commercial fishing takes out so many animals, so quickly that they can not replace themselves.

Human carelessness seems to be the overriding influence on all these factors. As people are concerned about the impact that their choices and actions make on wild life, their habitats and environments will be protected. People taking precautions will effect the environment for humans and wild animals alike.
