My dad was President of the Tenneessee chapter of the American Cancer Society. He was a fine doctor but a crappy politician. First he made the board meetings no smoking, which pissed everyone off, then he demanded that they use some of their money for research and smoking cessation programs. He learned that the Society was more interested in fund raising than in cancer.
Wearing silly ribbons of different colors, wearing clothing of different colors, driving with your car headlights on in the daytime (remember that one?) - all useless gestures that accomplish nothing more than saying "I'm better than you because I care."

Was it supposed to be pink underwear, or did you cut yourself shaving?
did you cut yourself shaving?
That's when I wear the red underwear.

So he quit.
Beware of businesses posing as non-profits.
