Since they are currently on Breast Cancer Awareness and have also done various charities to support veterans and encourage reading, what other good causes do you want to see WWE take on? Myself, I say they should even the playing field and do a male breast cancer awareness event-JBL could be the master of ceremonies! And given how popular the kick to the nuts is in WWE, I'd say a testicular cancer awareness event would be appropriate. How about the rest of you?

Seriously, PCOS and ovarian cancer. I have a friend who has one and has to watch out for the other.
The breast cancer thing I do take seriously, though, as there's someone I wish I met but never will because of it.

WWE doesn't have the balls to support testicular cancer awareness.

Breast cancer research is absolutely a worthwhile cause that I support myself. But nonetheless, I find the way WWE supports to be kind of...well...over the top, like so many other things they do. Hence the amusement factor in imagining how they would support certain other causes. Like Guinea Worms! Those little buggers have plagued the human race for too long and now seem to finally be on the verge of extinction! Lets support ending the plague of Guinea Worms, WWE!

Would be fun if they supported the World Wildlife Fund.

Basically anything except cancer. Not that cancer isn't deserving of money, but every other charitable event you see is for cancer of some sort. There are other charities. How about Huntingdon's or Alzheimer's or my pet charities are usually related to the homeless.
WWE is extremely patriotic, and an alarming proportion of the American homeless are veterans after all.

They should've done more in September to promote children's cancer awareness, especially since they have the Connor's Cure chair, and also since the color for children's cancer awareness is gold... just makes sense.

To offset the barrage of fast food commercials during their shows, a 10 minute segment of every show should be devoted to obesity and eating disorder awareness, with Bull Dempsey on the phone taking donations.

I'm not up on the charitable donations given by the WWE however I hope that they donate to charities to help wrestlers like Trav Aid, which is supporting a superb British wrestler called Kris Travis as he battles stomach cancer, and also donate to spinal injury charities due to the nature of the beast.

Yeah, I don't recall the company mentioning it at all during September. Which is strange considering WWE did a story about it on their website. www.wwe.com/inside/overtheropes/wwe-to-raise-awareness-for-pediatric-cancer-awareness-month-26608089I'd like to see WWE fight animal cruelty. The Network frequently airs that clip from Confidential about Lita volunteering at an animal shelter, so why not? (Yes, I know that this is the same company that used simulated violence toward animals in its storylines.)
