INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your first step should be to identify the specific charity to which you will donate the proceeds from your event. You'll likely already have a cause or even an organization in mind, but you'll have to be specific about your target charity to obtain their permission to use their name. Adding the name of a well-known charitable organization can also give a certain amount of legitimacy to your event. If you don't know what organization to support, try organizing an event with a corresponding awareness day or month. For example, many breast cancer fundraisers are held in October, as it is breast cancer awareness month. Timing your event in this way can also give your event free public exposure (through newspaper articles and other media coverage). In order to raise money on the charitable organization's behalf, you'll need to have their permission. Call or write your chosen organization requesting their go-ahead to start planning and organizing your event. They may also be able to provide you with help or guidance in planning or advertising your event. Odds are, the organization will have some specific guidelines for external fundraising events (those events not directly organized by the charity). These may include budgeting or advertising rules, limits on the use of their name, or a specific list of responsibilities they will have (or not have). Work with the organization to set these boundaries and gain a deeper understanding of your event's relationship with them. Some more advanced organizations may even have specialized proposal and agreement forms for this purpose. In this case, be sure to fill them out completely and accurately. One thing to focus on when working with the charitable organization is whether or not your participants' race fees will be tax-deductible. Tax-exempt donations can attract even more participants, and will definitely help attract larger donors like local businesses.

SUMMARY: Identify a charity to work with. Contact the organization. Work out an agreement. Figure out whether or not fees will be tax-deductible for participants.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Shoulder joints are susceptible to various injuries involving numerous tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bones, nerves and blood vessels. But keep in mind that the degree of the shoulder pain is not always commensurate with the seriousness of the injury. Some serious injuries can generate only mild-to-moderate pain, whereas relatively minor sprains and strains can cause severe short-term pain. As such, get your doctor to examine your shoulder pain to make sure that it's stable enough to participate in yoga classes. Your doctor may take x-rays of the shoulder joint or send you for an MRI or CT scan to get a better idea of what's causing your shoulder pain. Less serious causes of shoulder pain that could possibly benefit from yoga exercises / positions include mild ligament sprains, bursitis and osteoarthritis (the wear and tear type); mild-to-moderate muscle strains and contusions (bruises). Shoulder injuries and conditions not appropriate for yoga include glenohumeral dislocations, acromioclavicular separations, inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid), advanced osteoarthritis, nerve impingement, severely torn ligaments or tendons, and any type of bone fracture or tumor. Yoga involves a number of poses or positions that put pressure on the shoulder girdle. If your shoulder pain is caused by an injury or condition that makes the shoulder joint unstable (severe arthritis, cartilage tear, nerve impingement, broken bones, dislocation), then joining a yoga class is not a good idea at all. Get your family physician, chiropractor, physiotherapist or even personal trainer at the gym to assess your shoulder for stability, which includes testing it for normal range of motion and strength. If your painful shoulder has near full range of motion and strength, then doing yoga poses that put weight on your upper body is likely okay and maybe even beneficial. Too much movement in the shoulder joint is the hallmark sign of instability and usually caused by severely stretched or torn ligaments surrounding the joint capsule. Reduced range of motion in the shoulder is often caused by arthritis, cartilage damage, excessive scar tissue or build-up of inflammation. Yoga postures require a base level of strength, flexibility, balance, body awareness, and coordination to accomplish. Doing the postures without proper alignment can increase your risk of a musculoskeletal injury. While standing, reach around the front of your body to the opposite elbow or wrist. Gently pull across your chest until you feel a stretch in the corresponding shoulder. Hold for 30 seconds and do at least 3x daily. Also while standing, reach behind your back and grab the wrist or elbow of the other arm (the one with shoulder pain). Slowly pull down until you feel a good stretch in the affected shoulder. Again, hold for 30 seconds and do at least 3x daily. Good strengthening exercises for your shoulders include rowing, swimming, push-ups and pull-ups. You can modify these exercises or use assistive devices to make them easier if you are not ready to bear weight on your shoulder. Recreational activities that can strengthen and mobilize your shoulders include tennis, bowling and archery.

SUMMARY: Consult with your family physician. Make sure your shoulder is stable and functional. Consider light exercises and stretches before attending yoga classes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Many celebrities live in these cities, and spending time there may increase your chances of meeting someone famous. Either make clear your hobby of taking photos with the stars, or casually mention your particular interest to one person. You never know who knows the guy who knows the guy who knows the guy who trains Brad Pitt. Play it cool. Just as you would protect your friends, colleagues, boss, or employee from someone who seems threatening, someone involved in the life of a celebrity is not going to introduce you if you seem dangerous, bizarre, or embarrassing. Express your interest in a particular field of art or entertainment, rather than one particular person. If your social and work network knows of your love of film, music, or theater, they are more likely to share information, tickets, and news pertaining to a wide variety of people in your interest group. You might get information on a Beyonce concert if your friends know you love pop music. But if they think you only are interested in Taylor Swift, they may not bother to tell you. When you go for coffee or lunch in a popular area, ask the people working there who comes in. Some people can be very open, and may even tell you which day of the week, or time of day, certain people tend to get their groceries or pick up their takeout. Theater performances, gallery openings, book signings, and other official appearances will be noted. Visit the theater or gallery where the celebrity is scheduled to appear. Talk with the people who work there. You never know who may tell you a bit of information regarding his or her whereabouts.

SUMMARY:
Visit Los Angeles, New York City, or London. Network. Ask around. Read the Arts section of the newspaper.
