General Cycling Discussion - Would Our Webmaster Turn Down $100,000?

In today's news, a Salvation Army officer in Florida refused a $100,000 check from a guy who won $3 million in the lottery. He said it would be hypocritical to take the money, since the Army preaches against gambling. If I sent $100,00 to Bike Forum, would our highly eithical webmaster turn it down? :D

If he didn't...I would accept it in his stead. PM me and I'll give you the info you'll need to give me the money. FWIW it would be charity seeing as how I don't have a job right now.

Wow, that is some strong morals...sheesh

Send me the $100K and i'll tell you the answer ;)

the people who get the donation from the Salvation Army won't know that it came from a gambling source, why not make some of the poor people happy, by accepting the said donation,

Exactly! How stupid to turn down such a generous donation!

I have to agree. Not taking the donation is not going to stop anyone from gambling. However, it is going to hurt the people who benefit from the charity. $100k goes a long way.

Would the Sally Ann, refuse a donation from Coors, or Molson or Seagrams?

... And if they did I doubt they'd care anyway. You are exactly right, it's stupid to turn down a donation such as this one.

I'm sure all of the other donations they receive are from perfectly legitimate and above-the-board donors. ;)
