I get what you are saying, but what if getting involved in a public manner can help raise more money? Look at how much the Afleet Alex's connection helped raise for the Lemonade Stands.

I agree that IEAH is doing this for the publicity, but if that helps raise money for a good cause, it might be a win-win.
