9/15 - “Alternative fundraisers”

By The Stabbing Pen | September 15, 2008

Usually people will run for charity, or even ride their bike.  “For each mile I go, I ask that you donate a small amount that will go toward cancer (or whatever) research.  Certainly I would consider it a win-win situation since the individual participating is getting exercise, and money is going to a worthy cause.

In actuality though, it’s really most important that the money gets to the people who need it most.  So what’s the point of running at all? 

For me, I would prefer to challenge myself in another way to raise money.  What about watching TV for charity?  Perhaps listening to music?  If I watch 270+ episodes of Cheers in a row, or listen to the entire Beatles discography (in one sitting), all I’m asking is that you give me a few bucks for each episode/song.  It’s for a good cause!
