Donations Wow!
As you open
your pockets to do a good thing
and make
yourself feelgood,
please keep the following facts in mind:
----------------------------
The American Red
Cross
President and CEO Marsha J.
Evans'
salary for the year was $651,957
plus expenses
MARCH
OF DIMES
It is
called the March of Dimes
because
only a dime for
every 1 dollar is given to the needy.
The
United Way
President Brian
Gallagher
receives a $375,000 base salary
along with numerous expense benefits.
UNICEF
CEO
Caryl M. Stern
receives
$1,200,000 per year (100k
permonth) plus all
expensesincluding a ROLLS
ROYCE.
Less
than 5 cents of your donated dollar goes to the
cause.
GOODWILL
CEO and owner Mark Curran profits
$2.3 million a year.
Goodwill is a very catchy
name for his
business.
You donate to his business and
then he sells the items for PROFIT.
He pays nothing for his
products and pays his workers minimum wage! Nice Guy.
$0.00 goes to
help anyone! Stop giving to
this
man.

I have known this since 1964, while in the Phillipines the red cross was there, coffee 25 cents a cup, dounut 25 cents........ the salvation army was also there, for troops all free....... haven't given to anyone but the salvation army ever since...... all reliefs scare me, like the one for starving kids, dogs,etc...... always someone wants to make a big pay day out of it.......

My wife used to work for The Red Cross. When she found out how little of each dollar went to help the ones who needed it, she resigned.

Same thing Bob. A 1983 tornado hit Springfield hard when we lived there. The local R.C. chapter appealed for donations and people responded. What most didn't know was that the RC charter required a large cut go directly to the National chapter, recall it being in the 50-60% range. Bit of a bait and switch deal to me. They do some good work no doubt but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Good Message.
I always drop change in the Ronald McDonald box as I was unaware what they do for parents with sick children until my cousin's daughter was in an accident. They provided a place to stay near the hospital at no charge. That's a great organization.
Shriners is another one to mention. Their hospitals do great things for children with medical issues much like St. Jude.
I'm still a little pissed back in the 70's I was walking around with a little orange UNICEF box with starving kid pictures on it asking for change donations. I was unaware I was helping support a war effort in Africa to prop up a communist organization that was friendly to the United Nations. What can you trust with that kind of stuff that goes on.

I am just looking forward to donating to the Hungry Crappie Foundation.
