Northwestern Wearing Uniforms To Honor Military Causing Uproar Amongst Some

#11

Quote:I'm not a fan of the Wounded Warrior Project.  Not because of what it stands for, but because of how it's run.  The CEO of the charity makes $300k/year salary from the company, and too much of the money that they receive goes to marketing and other things.  If I was going to complain about anything, it would be their charity choice.  (A lot of Charities sadly do the same, you have to really look into a lot of them)


I'm surprised that college football teams don't simply try to do more to raise awareness of the needs of wounded veterans by urging people to call their congressmen and tell them they need to fully fund VA hospitals.  You could really use sports to raise awareness, which would probably end up doing a lot more.  

 

Just my two cents.

Most all charities are actually scams. The Tampa Bay Times did a great series on the worst charities. Some of this will make you sick.

There are alot of charities out there that spend all the money they take it on their leadership and fundraising, Donating almost nothing to the actual cause.
