Causes
There are a lot of causes out there...
There are tons of deserving charities in the world, and since Interact only meets every other week, we don't have time to support a ton of causes/charities. This page is broken up into two parts: one with projects that we'll most likely end up doing in Interact this year, and other causes that you and a couple friends could do. (Note: Only causes announced by Interact count as one of the required projects)
