Charities are trying to help people celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend — and raise money — with solicitations that tie their missions to motherhood.
“Did you know that Mother’s Day was originally called Mother’s Day for Peace?” asks the Ploughshares Fund, which works to prevent conflict and the use of deadly weapons.
Its Web site tells the story of the woman who proposed the holiday and asks for gifts to the charity’s Mother’s Day Peace Fund, which supports projects to “make the world safer and more peaceful.”
