We kinda had the same thing where I worked, the pressure to contribute. We even "loaned" an employee to the local organization to "help" run the campaigns. Imagine my disbelief when I was told that the employees running the campaign had first pick of all (new, good label) clothing donated for the needy. That led me to assume the perks didn't stop there. Like you, Barry, I had always contributed to charities of MY choice, NOT my employers and learning this after many, many years of pressure just made me feel more justified in my choices.
