"Just saying "Make A Wish Foundation" doesn't really answer the question, especially as there seems to be some confusion about which charities were involved."

No confusion. I am not involved in anyway with the donation fund but I did see the discussion about remaining money going to Make a Wish.

The Red Cross at one point had asked that there be no more donations. They simply didn't need the money at one point. I had a cafepress store for donations at the time and cafepress even ended their fundraising campaign.

I don't think sirkrite meant that where the money went was none of your business, Mosca. But it was right that the Merchants held the discussion of where to send the remaining amount. If you purchased something that went to the fund, you received something in return. The merchant who donated received nothing and had more of a right to vote on where the remaining money went. I don't believe there was any misuse of the donation funds and I'm sure Clint or whoever was in charge of sending the money could prove with a receipt if anyone needed.

No cloak and daggers beyond this point. :)
