I pulled funding for the turd-burgling United Way many years ago.
So the United Way of Greater Cleveland supports pedophilia? Who knew?
Ya know these big outfits like Intel and United Way are deep pockets. If some boy scout gets molested because of their pressure to give homosexuals access to children, I’d think that would make them liable in a civil suit.
Make my Chik-Fil-A.
Not only is this an opportunity to support BSA in Cleveland—there's also the chance to damage United Way of Cleveland's ability to get donations by stigmatizing anyone who gives to it as a pedophile-enabler.
Never gave a nickel to the united way. If you want to donate to a worthy cause, give to the Salvation Army, and the BSA directly.
Does the United Way provide funds to Big Brothers/Big Sisters? Does Big Brothers ban openly gay “mentors”? Just wondering.
I pulled funding of United Way years ago.
I stopped supporting United Way many years ago over this issue. Apparently, they prefer to cater to the far left, even though leftists don’t donate to charity (ignoring the immorality of their stance, which seems not to even be a consideration for UW leadership), and alienate the rest of us.
I prefer to give directly.
Actually, right now is the season in which the boys are out, selling their popcorn. I wish that they had something better to sell (they'll never match girl scout cookies) because I don't care for their popcorn. It does make a good Christmas present, though. Or you could just drop a few bucks into their hands as a donation without buying the popcorn.
Odds are very high they will lose way more donations than the cost of the scout aid.
IIRC, this all started with Levi’s pressuring United Way to stop funding the BSA. UW eventually relented under pressure. I stopped giving to UW and haven’t wore a pair of Levi’s or Dockers since. BTW, Wrangler has a line of slacks named Riata, the dye and the fabric is much better. They hold a crease and cost a lot less than a pair of Dockers.
I stopped when I left active duty in the Navy in 1973. I started moving my meager contributions to the Boy Scouts when my son was a scout, about eighteen years ago. Indeed, he graduated an Eagle.
don’t know if THIS has been posted, but since it was three days ago..
INTEL pulls donations

The Girl Scouts ban men from being leaders. Revoke funding next?
i stopped giving to the united grab a long time ago more the 30 yrs now and will not ever give to them
Stop giving to the United Way.
Get involved and donate to a charity in YOUR community and check how its funds are spent.
Well, in this day and age, they can’t expect to be an exclusive outfit - ain’t American.
And that goes for The NAAWP and the CWC (National Assoc. for the Advancement of White People and the Congressional White Caucus - oh wait...
UW means no harm. They are simply trying to increase the opportunities to diddle little boys.
The reason I stopped donating to them back in the early ‘90’s.
In 1989 I got almost all of my department to participate. The only other department with a higher rate was personnel (4 people, big whoop).
My method “Give them a buck, get them off your back.” Make the lowest possible donation, one time only, and then you won’t have them nagging you.
It worked - and the UW for a whole $25-$30 buck (More than they deserved), but they had to report that my department (Maintenance, you know, the lowest of the low) got a higher % donation rate than the big time mucky-mucks. Yes, I had a good laugh over that.
Haven’t given to those bastards in over 15 years . . . they subsidize abortions and feminazi organizations and they’ve been after the Boy Scouts for upholding God and the sanctity of family.
May United Way/Appeal/(or whatever they call themselves) go to HELL.
