    that makes sense. :lol:
    It's called having trust in your friends. Maybe you should try and believe in the human race.

    I don't question them one bit because I choose to hold out faith that they will do right by everyone.

    I think most people don't realize how much work it is to organize a fundraiser, and I'll start by saying don't let this turn you off of wanting to do one, yes it's tons of work, but it will be the time of your life. Going to the show after is just a bonus!

    We've already started working on the Tulsa party. Do we even know if we'll get tickets, no. Do we care, not really, we have faith that it will all work out.

    We have to find a place willing to let us have the party. One that is close to the venue and will allow all ages. A place that serves food and drinks.

    We have to get donations in.

    The volunteers purchase all the items needed. We make signs, buy raffle tickets, name tags, pens, tape, little things that add up.

    We get there early to set up. We have to break down the party after and hope we can get to the show on time.

    Sometimes we don't get a chance to eat during a party.

    It really is a lot of work. It doesn't all just fall into place at the last minute. But is very rewarding, and so much fun!

    Wow... I think there's a lot of misinformation and ignorance when it comes to a certain charity here. I would think that before accusing of corruption or anything untoward, one should really be certain of their claim.

    Sure, there are some charities who only give a small proportion of their 'income' to good causes, but a LOT give the maximum they can. Also, there is nothing against charities having paid staff. A good CEO (who may be paid a good salary) can generate lots of funds for the charity and good causes. I guess most larger charities will have paid management with a big number of volunteers.

    Let's not sully the name of anyone here for the sake of doing it.

    Guys... please don't flame each other. This doesn't need to go there.

    The whole point of starting Wishlist back in the day was to unify the fan community and try to make whatever small differences in the world that we can... "with my two hands I can change the world"

    Please be civil and polite. This thread will end up getting locked and important, VALID, FACTUAL information won't have a chance to get out there.

    This is my kind of love...

    And it's childish to say "someone to not be named" if you're going to talk shit, be a man about it.

    What kind of bullshit is that though???? Why can't someone have a job, and work their ass off and afford luxuries? ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING?

    Don't be jealous man. That's a terrible, terrible thing to feel. Don't hate...no one likes a hater.

    It's bothering me because, I have been to these Wishlist parties and have seen people cry......crying because there is so much positivty and so much good going on that it's overwhelming. These people that run Wishlist are so dedicated, SO INTO HELPING OTHERS that they devote so much time to this great cause. I don't know what you are trying to do by attacking this organization, but I can tell you, it won't do a thing.

    It's an amazing time. I have met so many great people, I have donated money, I know good people when I meet them. And you're targeting my friends.

    Let's just cut out all this bullshit here and get to what your point is. What exactly are you trying to achieve here besides draging good people's names though the mud.

    just questioned where the money was going, thats all...just trying to figure out what the term non-profit really means.
