I'm thinking of things promoted by charities fund raisers which become very popular but that most people participating seem to have forgotten the fundraising bit e.g.
- Movember, know several people who grew a tach "for Movember" but don't know anyone did it to raise money.
- Dryathlon and similar abstinence events/months. Lots seem to join in for the good of their health/own pocket but I don't know where the charity element comes in
- That ice bucket challenge thing. Loads of people did it, how many did it for the charity?
- And charity donations instead of Christmas cards. How many people say they're going to do this and how many actually make the donation?
