So is your point that you have a problem with the Flames doing that? Last I checked, most corporate charities are ran this way. And lets be perfectly honest, all these charities are just another form of marketing. But along the way, a portion of the money they've raised goes to charities. So why the outrage?

Again, I'd argue they're getting people who would normally not donate to any charity if not for these events. People who buy 50/50 aren't doing it to donate money, they're doing it in hopes of winning something.
