[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 368373, member: 12570"] I support the United Way as it allows me to make my donation in weekly increments. I support the various fundraisers as I think that they increase participation. I support the banner but do not donate simply to see my name on a banner. I enjoyed the 2 fundraising packages that I was high bidder on as it allowed my children and I (son-basketball, daughter-football) to spend a weekend each in Syracuse. Call it shopping or whatever you wish. I guess the 10-15 people that chose to bid on each of the various packages were just shopping. If my center were a large one, I would bid on a prime parking space. Charity can be loosely defined as helping those who are less fortunate. My donation goes to the local Hospice, a very worthwhile organization helping those in the final stages of their lives. I take advantage of the tax deduction offered by the IRS for charitable donations. I always deduct the value of any gift(s) received as part of my donation, which for the sports tickets were the face value of the tickets, which I copied and stapled to a copy of my check. [/QUOTE]
