I know some clubs do fundraisers using CafePress. Just want to let you all
know that CafePress considers PETA to be a "charity" and is donating
thousands of dollars to them. They are also giving them some sort of
matching funds for the sales on their site. This is really disturbing.

"CafePress, on behalf of its users, is making a donation to Operation
Gratitude (www.opgratitude.com), Breastcancer.org (www.breastcancer.org),
NORML (www.norml.org) and PETA (www.peta.org), through its "Chari-Tees"
program. Each organization will automatically be given a $5,000 donation. In
addition, from December 17, 2010 through December 31, 2010, CafePress, on
behalf of its users, will donate $10 for every order sold through each of
the charities' shops, up to a maximum of $50,000 collectively."
It's likely the misleading name of the organization, people understandably think it's an organization for the ethical treatment of animals. Only once people are in the know, do they realize the misnomer.
