Haiti quake American donations
a recession and job losses, the contagious giving has come in all forms old and new, underscoring the heartfelt, if fleeting generosity of Americans. In addition to Pacheco's old-fashioned volunteerism, Illinois residents have joined an unprecedented text-message funding campaign for the Red Cross. They have given nearly $200,000 to the Salvation Army through the Internet, not red kettles.

And to think it all started when he was lucky enough to draw into the 1991 PGA Championship as the ninth alternate. Daly shocked the golf world by winning without the likes of a practice round so he could check out the course. Daly won $230,000 for winning the PGA Championship that year. And when he found out one of the golf fans had been struck by lightning and killed, he donated $30,000 of his winnings to the victim’s family.
