cause based marketing has been done to death. i hate that shit. i hate walking in a restaraunt that has a plaque on the wall telling me they give money to kids somewhere. if they do ... fine... it's great... BUT if their interest in helping people was genuine, it would not be used as a marketing tool and i personally would not need to know about it. i would rather just sit down and eat my meal without feeling like i am being treated like an idiot.

I have no idea who you are. Are you a habitual pessimist? Businesses are constantly challenged to donate to charity when they see their competitors doing it. They try to "one-up" each other and the charities end up benefitting.
I was challenged to start doing this when I noticed ALSScan.com donates a percentage of their 1 Year sign ups to children's charities. I thought, "Hey, why don't *I* do that too? But instead of donating only percentages of 1 year joins, I'll donate on ALL credit card and check sign ups."
AND I'm hoping other webmasters will follow suit.
Let's say I donate $50,000 to St. Jude Children's hospital.... do you think the receiving families whose children's lives are saved will give a f--ck whether or not someone on an adult webmaster board feels sick and tired of hearing people using "charitable donations" as a "marketing tool"?
For some reason, I really don't think they will.
