[QUOTE="Bacchus, post: 210821, member: 4092"] Was disgusted to read that the E J Whitten charity for the benefit of cancer research has returned 6 cents in the $ to the actual cancer research department after administration costs , recent investigations into the running of the Shane Warne headed charity , and many of the large international charities returning less than 10 cents / $ to the cause. Not pointing the finger at the celebs that allow the use of their name as I am sure it is done in good faith but It's become a bloody business for the benefit of the people employed in the background pulling salaries , driving cars and using expense accounts paid for by donations. I am sure it is making people very cynical , there are many great charities out there need support and you would think in this day and age we could do better. Perhaps back to the future , remember when a TV station would run a 24 hour telethon , the celebrities would donate their time and a few million bucks was made with 100 percent getting to the actual cause?
