We also visit a couple charitable organizations to see how money donated from the event is being used to benefit the community, and finally, we take a look at how MSF's charitable model might soon be replicated in a neighborhood near you.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thequotidian.org&#038;blog=308916&#038;post=537&#038;subd=thequotidian&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
