Any donation to a good cause is nice. But there are a lot of people that make modest donations that do not generate a press release, provide a glamour shot and get a story in multiple newspapers for a total of.....$16,000? That's a good return on her adversising dollar. Typically aa.com would run this type of story after Taubman or Ross donate $50 million to UM. Here we have Florine getting the same bang for $16,000? Again...kudos for any donation of any size from anyone....but a donation with a quid pro quo (press release) attached screams, "look at me, patronize my business"
