My work INbox has just received the 25th "Race for the Cure Raffle" message. 25 emails for 25 raffles in the last week. All after the Breakfasts and Daily Snack potluck fundraisers. I've lost count of the pseudo-events and pink ribbon distros. I've given and given and then was approached to become a member of a team. "I've been tight for time since starting the Accounting classes" I begin until interrupted by the recruite "oh, no - we just need a donation" My jaw hung as the brain gave me a blue screen of death.

I've since recovered and found a higher cause:
