The 50/50 work is good. And they do a lot of other great stuff with their partners in terms of community events and bringing Flames players out there to attend and help raise attention for specific causes for their parents but for the reasons stated above the big events just don’t appear to be working.

The people that are paying to go to the Flames poker or golf tournaments most likely have little concern that their entry fee is only 30% (or whatever the number is) going to 'charity'. They're paying the entry fee's to rub elbows with Flames players and alumni and to have a good time. There happens to be a slight 'charity' spin off which is great.
Honestly its mind bottling that people think these events don't work. Its like we've run out of things to complain about.
