Is it okay to ask a beer company to donate money or prize incentives to send a child to an college camp?

Question

Specifically to donate merchandise for a fundraising event.

Answer 1

Yes don't listen to prudes. Money is money, like college kids don't know what beer is anyway. Many organization receive countless dollars from, alcohol, tobacco etc... Many people just don't know about. Why not ask this question, "should I allow my son to go to college on a free ride, from a Beer scholarship"? The answer is yes.

Answer 2

Good question. Although it would be OK in the legal sense, what message are you sending to children? With the current level of political correctness, your organization might be dragged into some negative media if you sponsored child gets involved in an alcohol related incident.

Answer 3

Yeah sure, why not? Aren't there beer companies in Nascar? Isn't there a 'Miller Lite' car or something like that? Bud? Well, Nascar donates money for childrens' organizations. I don't see why your local company can't! Just remind them about Nascar when you're asking. I'm sure they have *tons* of t-shirts, hats, caps, visors, posters, ect. to give away!

Answer 4

Answer 6

Absolutely not, even if their products will not be advertised or shown..its like putting tobacco product stickers on ice cream trucks.
