There goes civilisation...

They get a few dozen people each year asking for sponsorship. How much money have you donated to charity recently?

And just because a donation is a neat tax option to the corporation, doesn't mean the money is worth any less to the charity receiving it.

my parents raised £2k+ for kent air ambulance and another 2k for a defib unit for the local doctors surgery. they are pensioners living on a council estate. it took a lot of time and effort on their part to do so. the amounts you mentioned in your above posts to make financial institutions sound alturistic just make them look stingy.
your fundraising efforts are commendable those of the comany are a drop in the ocean.
