I don't disagree with this, but if your cost is a million dollars, with unpaid volunteers, and you're bringing in 1.1 million. I think at the very least there should be an asterisk next to your name when you call it a charity event. If it's really only paying for itself, people should know. I know 100,000 isn't insignificant, but I can almost guarantee that people think these charity events are bringing in more than that when they are donating 25,000 for a banner with their company names on it.
But then they lump it altogether with the 50/50 and say that the foundation donated millions because of these events. Cool, but that's not exactly transparent.
