[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a girl here who got into Yale. She did not set up her own charity but she did raise $1million for the local children’s hospital. No idea how much of that was her parents’ money but it was legit and verifiable.[/quote] We live in bethesda and I see this a lot. Wealthy parents hitting up other wealthy parents and friends and colleagues for donations to the charity that the kid is supporting. Who is going to say no? It’s better than buying wrapping paper or whatever and the wealthy folks or even small businesses take it as a tax write off. It’s mostly just a testament to how many rich people their parents know. I think this is worse than the questionable non profits as it’s just writing a note that your parents pass on to raise money. If she threw an event like a childrens carnival to raise a million dollars, I’d be impressed. But you can’t raise that kind of money that way unless you have Beyoncé headlIning it.[/quote]
