I’ve donated this legal form for the holidays. Although there is no obligation, if you like the form, please consider donating to the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. The hospital does fantastic work helping children without charging the families anything for the medical services.

Best wishes to you and your family this holiday season.

But it wasn’t.
Instead, it was Marine Sergeant Major Joseph Ellis (R.I.P.) and Corporal David Emery Jr. who sacrificed themselves in the war against terrorists.

According to the ranking data, 72.9% of the money raised went to pay for fundraising and administrative expenses.
This begs the issue of how effective charity events actually are. If you plan to attend to have a good time (or a tax break), that’s one thing. If you want your money to actually go to the stated charitable beneficiaries, take some time to evaluate the charity.

I’m not trashing the Texas Stampede. Some of the funds are going to a worthy cause. However, if you want to help the Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, wouldn’t it make more sense to cut the check directly to the center instead of having nearly 3/4 of your money spent elsewhere?
