In any case, she’s passionate about Cambodia, and Cambodian orphans in particular. She’s currently participating in something called America’s Giving Challenge:

My goals are to raise money for the Sharing Foundation (and with your help get $50,000 for the Sharing Foundation), share stories about the Sharing Foundation and its supporters, and
share what I’m learning about using social networks to raise money as an extra organizational activist on my blog over the course of the 50-day giving challenge.

Apparently the top 8 people with the most unique donors for their cause will win $50,000 each (to, you know, donate to their charities), while 100 charities will receive $1,000 based on the number of donations they get through the Challenge.

To donate, go here (I know it references Michele, but I gather she’s handling project manager duties). Beth’s also started a wiki on her campaign, where you can learn more, particularly if you’re a bloggy or podcasty type. And if you’re a Facebooky sort, you can always join Beth’s Facebook cause.
