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??

From what I've been told, that ship has sailed. Reportedly The Villages approached the ACS regarding sharing donations. The ACS response was that splitting or sharing donations with another entity was against their policy and they just don't do it no matter how worthy the cause. If they did it for one, then they would in all liklihood be expected to do it again and again and they choose not to deal with it.
