What started out, quite simply, as an effort to do something a little different with the Carnival concept for the holiday season grew very quickly into this - the HR Carnival of Global Giving.  

Mike VanDervort is the mastermind behind this generous and inspiring effort and he takes the prize with 77, yes 77, post submissions.

The end result is not only a record breaking carnival but a very generous donation to a selected charity. Mike has not selected the charity yet or calculated the exact amount of final donations but some lucky charity is going to get several hundred dollars from a wonderful group of generous folks.

Check out the link and consider contributing to the cause or a charity of your choice. What a great way to start the holiday season.
