Funny, a charity is aiming to raise £1m for a new life-saving hospital machinery so to help launch they ask David Beckham or Alan Sugar or Bill Gates or someone. The Ironic thing is the public then go and do sponsored events such as cycling, marathons etc until they hit the target. BUT why couldnt the patron just turn round and say 'hey, you know what, i have lots of dosh already so here you go! Job sorted!" Simple but then why is this isnt the case? Why is it the ones without the 'lots of dosh who do most of / if not all of the work?
The eastern tsunami was a classic example! A huge football game was arranged and the proceeds were sent in aid. (more publicity for the players??) but if each if the players present sent 1week or 2week wages then there wouldnt have needed for a charity match AND it woudlnt have been excusively the job of the ones 'without lots of dosh' of raising the aid by paying for such tickets
I know there are lots of charitable celebs but do you see my point?
