We will line up to participate in Charity golf tournaments or pokers tournaments yet less than 10% of the money raised reaches charity.
This is not the actual Charities problem.... they are doing what they can and if you scale back what these events offer then you scale back attendance and money spent.
Bean breaks down last years numbers which resulted in 88% going to charity or sitting in reserves and mentions he has no idea how the figures were reached by the "Watchdogs".

the group that did the report I'm sure analyzed all the teams the same way.
Isn't it concerning that the flames were so much worse than every other sports team? why are the flames at .30 while the oilers are .69 and the canucks at .73? there are legitimate questions that should be answered.
if the only difference is the huge reserve of cash, why don't they explain why they have it?
you can't compare the flames charity to the united way, but you can compare them to the oilers who more than double the flames contributions.
