[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 572336, member: 12570"] I participate every year in the United Way fundraiser. The weekly payroll deduction allows me to donate more than I would be able to if I had to write a single check. My donation ($25/week) goes to our local Hospice. I don't do it for the recognition--I do it because our job gives us the opportunity to help those less fortunate. Yes, I do take advantage of the tax write-off, but that is not the purpose behind my donation. The folks at the Hospice do a wonderful job not only for the patient but for the family members in helping them make their final days as pleasant as possible. We just had our presentation yesterday and were told that we were #5 in our region for total donations last year. I agree with Pip--I have never been pressured or badgered, but I do know of others who have experienced this in my center, which is a shame because the decision whether to donate or not should be a personal one. On the other hand, deciding not to donate simply because you are pissed at your boss or UPS does not hurt your boss or UPS but hurts the agency which would have received your donation. [/QUOTE]
