Wait, I thought Red Cross was one of the few charities that actually got the money to the people in Haiti. Of course, I think they also messed up the 9/11 fund…
Yeah they did fine on Haiti but that’s about the only disaster relief in the last 10 years they didn’t botch.
I think that since it’s entirely donation-driven and since proceeds are entirely going to disaster relief you’ll be able to get away with a whole lot more than you otherwise would in terms of university and state rules. It’d be a cold day in hell before anyone hassled you about it. This also opens up advertising venues otherwise unavailable, like local restaurants, retailers, and possibly the local high school. They’re MUCH more likely to let you hang a flyer on their doors if it’s for something like this.
