Charities hope for record giving through websites - USATODAY.com: "Charities are ramping up online fundraising, hoping to match or beat records for holiday giving set last year.

The Salvation Army urges people to set up their own online red kettles so friends and relatives can donate.

U.S. Army Sgt. Lacy Hennessy, 23, a former bell ringer now in Baghdad, e-mails friends to give through a kettle on her website. It can be accessed at www.salvationarmyusa.org."
