| Lou,
Why not PM matt and ask your questions?
I believe that the proceeds from any sales are going towards incidental expenses and the like for Matt to achieve his dream of being able to scuba dive in open water.
As he is based in the USA, he is obviously not subject to the Charities Act as is the case in the UK. I have simply ordered some of his wristbands as they are only available in bulk orders of 20, and am distributing them here to anyone who wants to help with the logistics of assisting someone less fortunate than themselves have a glimpse of what we can enjoy so easily.
I believe that many people on YD are interested in what Matt is trying to achieve and would wish to give a little to help. I personally don't think that Matt is trying to pull a scam, and I am trying to do a little something to assist him.
I am sorry that you obviously feel that there is something underhand in all of this. Once I have sold 20 wristbands, I have effectively covered the initial donation to purchase the bands. Everything after that will be donated to Matt and I will post the paypal receipt for all to see. I am simply using the YD Social Events and Charity Fundraising portion of YD to ask for people to buy and donate.
Obviously the moderators of the forum don't mind this act, as I have not been warned about this action.
Stu!  |
