I went to a 'Celebrity' fund raiser yesterday night hosted by the Asian Television and Movie Association or whatever they're called last night, and it was one of the biggest waste of my time.
Essentially, it is a giant jerk-off fest where people with money hang around with other people with money to pat themselves on the back for being generous with donations. There's a lot of feelings of "Well, I already donated, so I'm just gonna sit here and eat and then get out as soon as possible."
It was also accompanied by the saddest auction I've ever seen. The auctioneers had to practically beg the audience to bid on items.
The sad thing is that ideally, it would be best to just somehow make the rich people donate without resorting to dinners and auctions, because that's what is important. When these people donate, they feel entitled to something, which is completely opposite to what should have happened.

Pretty much all charity related functions are like that. They do it for 2-3 days, then they feel it's sufficient.
