Quarters For The Cause
« on: November 03, 2005, 09:29:05 pm »
Hi, I wanted you to take a quick look at a new fundraising idea for the benefit of the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. As you may have heard, the Red Cross, and many other charitable organizations, are struggling after the terrible hurricane season put a huge strain on their resources.

There is a new idea just getting started that is focused on getting kids involved in the fundraising process. With their help, we can raise over $7 million every single day

if this idea catches on I'll never get a full collection of state quarters

I was planning on cashing them in when I retire to a collector and be filthy rich....

Settle for just plain filthy. Requires much less effort.

Yeah, $7mil a day... $4mil gets completely wasted on excess and administrative costs and $1.5mil goes right into peoples' pockets before it even gets counted.
