On Friday the school are doing a 'funny hat day' for Red Nose Day. The kids get to wear a funny hat, bring in a silver coin with the proceeds going to Comic Relief.
I have heard that one parent at the school will be sending their child in a funny hat, but instead of donating to Comic Relief they will be donating to Cancer Research instead.
I am a supporter of Cancer Research, I am doing Race for Life for the second time in the summer because I've lost people close to me to cancer and had friends undergo some pretty gruelling treatment, but I think Friday isn't the day to do this. I'd definitely support any efforts for school fundraising for Cancer Research on another day too.
AIBU to think that fundraising for Comic Relief doesn't detract from other charities, and doing this when they've not even asked the school to do a Cancer Research fundraiser is perhaps a little unnecessary?
Obviously this parent does have the choice to not send their child in a funny hat and not contribute if they feel that strongly.
I may be U, I honestly don't know. Any thoughts?
