Day 282: 50 cents for Children's Hospital

I was picking up some items for my mother today at Sam's Club, and I took advantage of the vortex donating coin fountain thing. The only problem was that the "proceeds go to" sign didn't have an organization listed. An employee of Sam's heard me remark on this and let me know that the money would definitely be donated to Cincinnati Children's Hospital. In fact, she was emphatic about it. She reiterated several times that the money went to "our" children's hospital (as opposed to other, less worthy children's hospitals I suppose). It's a strange concept, the need to make sure that we support local charities instead of organizations a few miles or more away.
