Instead, donate to your local public servants: police, fireman, EMT. Put the money in the pockets of those in need.
"Eyewitness News (Indianpolis) obtained tax documents from the state FOP. They show last year, through telemarketing calls, the organization raised more than $1.9 million, but $1.6 million of that went to fundraising expenses. Eighty-five percent of the money raised was spent on raising money.
That means only 15 cents of every dollar donated actually went to help the charity's causes: death benefits for fallen police officers' families, youth programs, scholarship programs, legal assistance for FOP members and maintenance of the Memorial to Fallen Public Safety Heroes in Indianapolis."
