Celebrity Wanted - Non-Profit Seeking Celebrity for publicity – no experience required
But will the Celebrity care about our Charity and our cause? Will they be sincere or do they just want the publicity?
Who cares? We need one! A small infusion of hard cash could start an Endowment Fund and our Charity might not be strapped for cash every winter. Maybe with a large infusion, we could start that building that has been needed for too many years. We would definitely raise the salaries of our employees who are classified as low income.
A visit by our Celebrity would be nice, but not required. They could stay in one of our local, luxury B&B (donated of course) for a few days and we would do a quick photo shoot of our Celebrity touring our facilities. We of course would provide our Celebrity with a diner to meet the locals and collect some more donations. We would send our Celebrity away with everything they need to splash our cause and needs across the world.
Sounds great! We would get the donations and they would get some nice publicity. It is a win-win! Our Celebrity could have a nice week-end vacation and we would not worry about making the payroll for a year or two.
I know it is all seems like fluff and may not seem real, but the infusion of cash to a Charity is very real. And that is what really counts.
I have always believed that a person should donate to their favorite charity depending on their abilities. Those who have the time should donate their time; those who have the money should donate the money. I value their efforts equally. I disagree with those who believe you do not care if you do not “get your hands dirty.” A Celebrity can do more for a Charity by using their name, than by actually volunteering. So why do we have an issue?
We never question the motives of someone who sends a check. We do not send them a questionnaire to verify their sincerity. We do not ask them if they would still donate even if they lost their charitable deduction on their tax return. If they do not really care; we would not return their check. So why do we question the motives of a Celebrity?
So send me a Celebrity! We will be very nice and treat them well and hopefully reap the rewards. We would spend the money wisely, furthering our cause and be very appreciative to anyone willing to help in whatever way that they can. Application for Celebrity is attached.
