Morning Cobe, I would guess the concept is that the companies receive some advertising and exposure for their charitable act and the charity was trying to think of some way to get support in some way that makes their solicitation appeal to companies. And it IS a charitable act for sure. Dan called to see what the cost would be and it's about 1500 a week, with the potential to increase of course, which makes it "unbudgetable". I have no problems with seeing what companies care enough to make that kind of donation. Also I think it's kind of fun to click and see that cup of rice heading off to feed someone. It's a graphic reminder to me of a need I should be looking for ways to fill. But I also can see why others might find it silly, or unnecessary, or not for them. Since it's a choice, hardly mandatory, and no one is taking names, why be derogatory or negative about another's choice? Just don't participate. (Not talking about you at all--- I'm sure you know that!)
