There is sooo much "emotional'ism" going on here and I accept that it is very valid but let's look at a bigger picture because as we are all after the same goal...that of treating and beating the big C.... what IF we negotiate that the "global" entity (ACS/Relay for Life) donate "x" % of the proceeds to the "local" entity, Moffitt Center????


For instance, my last employer, an extremely large top 10 corporations, "encouraged" all of us employees to give to the United Way a yearly donation.... Rather than stir the pot, I developed a way where my contributions would be directed to the City of Hope which made me feel it was going where I wanted it to go.... I know it got there because I received annual letter from COH thanking me for my donation....

This seems like a fair compromise and perhaps would work...

The other thing is there is a Relay for Life event at the Rolling Acres Sports Complex - wherever that is... a we could tie in with them a make it a win-win program..???? I always prefer to not get angry, but to take positive actions to get what I want>>>> what do you think??
