Ok. You’ve done the Moonwalk, you’ve listened to “Billie Jean” at top volume and you Twittered your heart out. What’s left when it comes to remembering Michael Jackson?
Don’t worry, I’ll tell you.
Rock for Kids, an organization that raises money to help provide music lessons for underprivileged children, has launched Web site www.ImissyouMJ.com, to pay tribute to the king of pop, as well as to help to raise money for the organization. The site s a collective photo memorial that includes 10,000 photo plots available for purchase. The plots come together to form a mosaic of MJ’s famous white glove.
A $25 donation allows you to submit your own photo into the mosaic and receive a copy of this poster once the squares have been filled. Proceeds go to Rock for Kids and the poster itself will be presented to the Jackson family as a tribute.
TIME.com has listed this as one of the top ten places to pay tribute to Michael Jackson.
Learn more about Rock for Kids here, and make sure to pass on this wonderful fundraising opportunity.

I’ve looked at them before, but I just get itchy about giving money to an organization that fundementally changed their mission so recently. That’s my only “thing” or concern. It might seem cool and hip, but they changed mid-stream and it didn’t pass the sniff test for me. Wanna give $25…food banks are just about falling over themselves for baby food. Seems a much better non-profit investment than a Chicago-based organization that can’t decide what it wants to be when it really grows up.
