What i actually happened: the study is bad
The flames raise money via high profile events like golf tournaments and the poker tournament. When you buy tickets to this, and it costs $500 per person, only $200 is going to charity (the profit) with the remainder going to overhead (the cost of the tournament).
I honestly don't see a problem with this. It's win-win. There is no way people buying tickets to the golf tournament think most of the money is going to charity, is there? And most of the time, the people attending these events are doing it for the event itself, not for the charitable donation.
Meanwhile this group uses the 200/500 = 40% as the spending to cost ratio.
So I guess it depends how you frame it. Perhaps the flames foundation is a bad charity. Or perhaps theyre using their Goodwill and status to raise money for charity from donations that wouldnt otherwise exist.
