[quote=Anonymous][quote]You think it's "cool" to go to a child's birthday party and be asked to write a check to a specific charity and place it in a shoebox?! I would be horrified. I don't understand posts like this. Horrifying? Really? What exactly is horrifying about helping kids learn about charitable giving?[/quote] Helping kids learn about charitable giving is wonderful. Setting out a shoebox and asking parents to write out a check to your charity of choice is horribly tacky and crass. It's even worse than the canned goods - now the host has a stack of checks to compare exactly how much everyone gave. It's not teaching children about charitable giving at all. It's teaching them that not only are they entitled to birthday gifts, but they're entitled to specify exactly what gift. [/quote]
