Sure does, but I am right there with you, so don't feel too bad. I've never got this idea that someone must be doing some sort of adventure to get people to donate to a cause.
I like how a lot of bike charity events are setup: you pay the registration fee, which covers the cost of the event, and then also have a fundraising minimum that goes to the charity, specifically because it segregates what money is going to the event and which is going to charity.
