Heaven forbid that someone with a large influence use it raise money for sick kids instead of a beer company.
The money they collect: goes to friends who manage the gala.
The celeb can't ask other people for money while having lots of money ready to donate themselves.
Can you actually name a celebrity who did a promotion deal for a charity and didn't donate any of their own money? Or is this just a hypothetical villain?
I don't follow the celebrity world so I couldn't say
Generally these celebrities will promise to match fan donations. Either on a 1:1 basis, or some other ratio “for every dollar you donate, I’ll donate two” or “I’ll pledge ten dollars for every 20 we raise…”.
Sure some shitty Celebs don’t donate at all and expect their fans to cough up, but any decent celeb knows that their influence can be used for the common good, and their own donation can be doubled or tripled or more, just by making their pledge public.
It’s shallow and cynical to assume that every celebrity-endorsed charity is a scam. Sure many bad eggs exist (cough trump foundation cough), but many more are legit. There are services who rate charities for their legitimacy.
Do you have any examples? Just curious
"can't"?
Heaven forbid they use their own money.
