It's incredible how many friends and relatives come out of the grave when they need to fundraise money for their walkathon/ marathon or bikeathon. Suddenly everyone gets concerned that you did not respond to their email or text and will actually call somebody to see if you are alive because they need to raise a certain amount of money to run or bike. But if this same neighbor or relative didn't see you at any family or close friends simcha they would not bother trying to call you or ask somebody if everything is okay. Please don't call me for $ if I don't speak you on a daily basis. I have enough tzedakah to give out to causes that are more dear to me. I don't need to be bullied to give to your organization because you want a free vacation to Florida. I can't stand how many emails we get for the same organization for the exact same thon. I don't feel obligated to even give you $18.00.
