Selfish Giving

FEBRUARY 15, 2011

The movie theater cause marketing program of note in my city benefits The Jimmy Fund. Ushers or volunteers collect the change and bills in canisters after moviegoers watch a short trailer on The Jimmy Fund’s mission and services. They’ve had some moving trailers through the years.

You either get a credit card donation through your organization’s website or you receive personal checks from donors sent to your organization’s office or P.O.

In 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved a number of federal holidays to Mondays. After the bill went into effect in 1971, however, Presidents’ Day became the commonly accepted name, due in part to retailers’ use of the name to promote sales and holiday’s proximity to Lincoln’s birthday.
