Thing-athon

[marcusmarcusrc]

I've always been a little dubious about the whole thing-athon idea, inasmuch as it seems like if you're going to give donations to stuff, why do it by sponsoring a friend in a thing-athon rather than just donating directly to the organization? And yet, I do sponsor friends anyway. So, now that I'm doing a thing-athon of my own, I figured I might as well ask for sponsors. *shrug*.

Plus there's the whole issue of getting something on the radar at all. There are causes I donate to sometimes - there are a lot more causes that I've heard of but not chosen to donate, and there's even more that I've never heard of at all. Certainly "Greater DC Cares" is not a cause that I had ever heard of before, and it's not like I was likely to go searching out "Helpful groups in DC that need money".
