when a real charity goes looking for donations to do good from important companies, rich people or a PR media day (and not 'awareness' by the way for something everybody in the western world knows about), they use a plush location, ie get a 5 star hotel to donate a room or suite or conference room for an afternoon.
i wouldn't donate money to an organisation that spends lots on itself. what's the point of that? if i was confronted with that type of organisation i would question what good is it doing when it spends a considerable amount of money on its locations and decor etc.. never mind what we know Lie$trong does with its dollars.
most of us know that Lie$trong is not a charity per se. So their lovely offices are designed to sell a brand (Lie$trong) to saps and companies that want a piece of the action. how much profit do nikey make for every lie$trong t-shirt sold? If you think cisco and coke care about helping people you are living in the dark ages. they only care about branding and if they attach their brand to something that helps sell their product they dont care if its abortion or cancer awareness they'll do it as long as it makes sales.
so yes it is a lovely office for a brand (Lie$trong) but not a charity, but i wont get too upset if it was all donated by a nice architect, builder, wood supplier etc....![]()
So Livestrong has alienated you, but attracted multi million dollar contributors.
What a terrible business plan....
Charities don't give a f**k what the motivation is behind a donation from Coke or Cisco.
Money saves lives, not sentiment.
