“I’ve come to believe that Take Your Daughters And Sons to Work Day is largely a feel-good exercise for the privileged,” she wrote.
I completely believe that a number of charities have come to this.(see earlier post) Personally, when I hear 'Silent Auction' at a fund raiser I just know it is rich people at Giovani's or Cliffbreakers trying to ease their guilt. Events at a cpl hundred dollars a plate does not equate to charity work. And they need to quit acting like it. Time AND money are needed. And I really believe the money is the least important of the two.
I got a suggestion. Bring your money and your body straight down to the church or food bank or where ever and just jump right in! Quit enabling the Do Gooders.
