These charities are always a hot issue because of the causes they attach to themselves. It is a good cause and touches near to me, my niece was born 7 weeks early and even now (she is still dealing with learning issues and is way behind for her age. I won't donate to this type of charity though, as i don't believe enough percentage of the donations is going to where it should. When the ceo of the company makes over $500k a year i don't feel that's a humble amount for a nonprofit organization to adhere to. I donate to charities like AAH (action against hunger) where it directly helps our own country and the ceo makes a much smaller $181k a year. I understand being a ceo and driving a successful company deserves a salary, but half a million dollars is excessive and greedy imo.

 

Take it for what you will but just because its a good cause doesn't mean the charity championing it is good for the cause.
