You must be 'putting the bite' on your whole town. Well, not quite, but there are a lot of caring, compassionate people out there. I feel good about it because it's one of the very few things I, as a father of a daughter with breast cancer, can do. It puts a smile on her face! As of now, there've been 71 donors. The race is day after tomorrow. Sure wish we could reach the goal by then. I *was* surprised that more people didn't take me up on my offer to double (or triple!) their donation! http://www.active.com/donate/varace4cure/RacingforRenee -- 'Til next time, John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** |

Mom & dad used to give about $25.00 to each request. Next thing you knew..hundreds of letters started showing up. A lot of charities 'sell' their donation lists to other charities. When I give...it's a modest amount and I don't want receipts. The small tax savings aren't worth the hounding. |

When I give...it's a modest amount and I don't want receipts. The small tax savings aren't worth the hounding. I don't blame you. Once my wife delivered envelopes to people in the neighborhood asking for a donation to one of the big charities, soon we were getting calls from 8-10 different charities to do the same thing. Now we don't do it for any, but I always tell them why when they call. The church my wife attends (and sometimes me) provides free day care to the needy, food, and English as a second language classes, along with programs for teens, etc. It gets a chunk of change every year, but I don't give to the folks who come to the door, unless it's for the local high school band. -- 'Til next time, John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** |
