May be alittle off topic, but in regards to the exclusive charity relations. When i worked at UPS, they had an exclusive relationship with United Way. Whoever donated the most out of ones paycheck would get a prime parking spot close to the guard gate. A buddy of mine who also worked at UPS had an experience through his church where, they were organized to do some sort of charity work with constructing a domicile of some type(?) Point is, towards the end of all the work these local joint churches did, a woman who represented United Way came to the site and passed out free United Way t-shirts, then did some photo-ops with the tshirt clad churchgoers. The paper read something along the lines of `United Way helps people in need'. They did no work and took all the credit. Combine this with the corporate environment and this story/stories. Im losing confidence in most charity establishments.
