Well with all the sports clubs I've sent to (96 in all) I haved received approximately 18 denials, all saying "not in their geographical region". So I thought - well my own state will - yea right. They sent a generated postcard with a checkmark in the box "not in our scope of donating". Thank you Falcons! Really appreciate the support, or lack of support. Yes, I am a weeeee bit disappointed so you know what I am going to do?! I'm composing a letter to the owner to let him know how disappointed I am. There scope of giving is to charities for children, well we may not be in the "scope" but we do have children come out for birthdays, scouts come out to earn badges - guess that still doesn't count.
Oh well, lesson learned. To all other charities - don't bother writing to sports clubs, not going to get anything. Stick with writing individuals players they might send something. Can't say for sure because I am yet to get anything - but chances may be a bit better.
Sorry to vent and sorry if this shouldn't go here - still a failure.
