Re: Service to Mc World

Hello Everyone:
Is the problem with a) the corporation itself or b) with the fact that the 
corporation is promoting its product in the context of a community service 
project?  What about local businesses that help to sponsor local fundraisers, 
such as Bowlathons, and have their names splattered across signs, programs, 
etc.? 
And what should we do about students who might volunteer at a local Ronald 
McDonald House? Or what about students who volunteer at a women's shelter 
funded by Phillip Morris?
In terms of corporate funding, should we begin to examine donor lists before 
sanctioning service sites? What if a site receives a substantial amount of 
money from a cigarette company and is being used in a public relations 
campaign? (see above)
