"Rebecca Raised A LOT of money" |
Why is everybody saying that Rebecca didn't raise any money? The Yahoo Executives were so impressed by her work that they came to The Season Finale to donate a huge sum of money to charity. The amount donated should be considered to be the amount of money that Rebecca raised.

The event was a charity fundraiser sponsored by Yahoo for Gleaser's Aids Foundation.The purpose of the fundraiser was to raise money and awareness..At the end of the day, NO MONEY WAS RAISED because more attention was given to YaHoo and not the foundation...at the end Yahoo decided to donate $100,000 to be divided between both fundraisers...And if you watched the show you would have heard Donald Trump tell Rebecca that she didn't raise any money...and something to the extent that YAHOO should donate money to the foundation to save face.

I just can't BELIEVE that all of those "big execs" made off with the gift bags and not a ONE sent in money in the envelopes that were provided. Rebecca had very precise communication with the Yahoo people who made it CLEAR that no one was to ask for donations. Now, what the heck was she supposed to do? Ask anyway??? Yeah, easy for us to say. The EVENT was the task. The fact that no one opened up their wallet was not Rebecca's fault. Randal pulled off his event in the end. Which was a complete freakin' SURPRISE. Lucky for him it rained and he ended up with an in-your-face auction. The ENTIRE time Randal made the Outback people and the Autism Speaks people very uneasy and doubtful. Rebecca, on the other hand, was a smooth, cool and tough cookie. She's a class act. And like Chris said, she's the oldest 23-year-old he's ever met. This was Trump's loss, not hers.

Randal had the same problem and he had a donation jug anyway. -Rebecca, on the other hand, was a smooth, cool and tough cookie I would be smooth and tough too if I had Chris and James doing all of my work for me.
Thank you for giving me honor in hat form.

It actually would have been very easy - Write Apprentice on each of the envelopes. And then those that came in in the Apprentice envelopes could have been counted towards her total.

I am sure that they have done that with other benefits in the past. I used to work at a non-profit in the accounting department and if we had some special thing to keep track of, the mailroom sorted out the special designation envelopes. Easy as pie.

Oh sure, I'll bet people donated untold millions with those mail-in envelopes. Why did Randal bother having a silent auction, asking people for donations, etc., when he could have raised even more money by silently hiding some donation envelopes in the gift bags that they handed out to people as they left? I'm sure the busy VIP's and celebrities went through the gift bags as soon as they got home, saw the envelopes, and were grateful that they could donate money anonymously to the foundation, instead of suffering the embarrassment of giving generously to a worthy cause on national television. I'm sure no one donated extra money to Randal's cause when they got home from HIS event.

That's a stretch. Yahoo was embarrassed because the Apprentice team did exactly what they asked and it resulted in $0.00 for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids foundation. Donald Trump shamed them into giving that money. The final tasks were over weeks ago and Yahoo could have given that money at any time. Why on the finale night? Shame, plain and simple.

Please --- Yahoo only donated that money to look like the good guys at the end, *after* George trashed them on TV for dictating to the candidates NOT to raise money at the event, and then Trump shames them on TV in the boardroom by saying they better donate money. And lo and behold.....months later, on live TV, Yahoo finally makes a donation to cover their very unsuccessful charity event!! Rebecca didn't raise the money --- Yahoo covered her @ss after the fact. The competition was over.

I agree, I believe Yahoo is responding to the comment by Trump that they should contribute. It would be interesting to see, however, how many people do send in those envelopes and how much money ultimately came from the event. http://spaces.msn.com/members/CarlaPfeiffer/

Assuming I accept your argument.Rebecca raised $0 the night of her event and Yahoo gave her $50,000 after the fact. Randall raised $11,000 the night of her even and Yahoo gave him $50,000 after the fact also. The score is still $61,000 to $50,000 and Randall still wins the Final Task. That's right , you're fired..get out already

Hmmm... not so fast there, lets do the math again.Rebecca raised $50,000 for her charity Rebecca raised $50,000 for HIS charity Randal raised $11,000 for his charity Rebecca not only raised $50K for her own, she also raised $50K for his as well. She not only beat him by raising $50K against his $11K She also beat him at his own chgarity and she wasn't even there. He raised $11K for his and she also raised $50K for his. Even without the comments from Trump and George, Yahoo would have donated the money anyway because Rebecca did such a wonderful job and followed instructions. It would not surprise me that when all of the donations that come back will also total much more than Randal's. He embarresed Trump in front of national Television and he also embarressed himself and the black race as well. Imagine when he is side by side by Trump and onlookers look at him with disscust and look at Trump as if he is an idiot for hiring him. Do you think people are going to trust a man of that character with their money? I would be willing to bet that trump is regreating this decision and it would be in his best interest to find a way to get rid of him as quickly as possible. >is said and done he >got $61,000 for his charity. > Hmmmm, that would still >have him with $11,000 more >than Rebecca. > >Guess Randal still wins! So >sorry! > > >I'm such a slut for the >blues.

22. "RE: Rebecca Raised A LOT of money" |
Okay, I am missing something. Could you please explain how it is seen that she raised the money for his charity, when Yahoo was the one giving the money out of shame? Them giving it out of shame, to save face, does not count as her raising the money, no matter how you look at it. They were trying to save face, because they looked so bad not being able to donate money to pediatric aids. Still leaves her with $0 raised on her own, by her own good work. She failed, and the gave the charity money anyway. That is not her raising the money.

>>Rebecca did a great job at >the event, which is one >of the reason why Yahoo >has to make a donation >at the end. Actually, it was a CHARITY event....to raise money for CHARITY. Yes, Rebecca did a great job, as Carolyn stated, in underscoring YAHOO complete with "Yahoo-tinis", purple ice, purple gift bags, etc; BUT the FOCUS was on the CHARITY. Yahoo made a PUBLIC donation for the attention, for the "Look at US, WE donated $$$" accolades, and finally to save face for rebuking the idea of asking for money (Heaven forbid!) at a charity event! As of yet, as far as I know, the total sum of funds raised from mailed in donations is still in question...so in answer to the original post/subject line: We really do NOT know if Rebecca "raised A LOT of money".

What was hilarious was George getting toasted by the Yahoo comedians... and was that his wife? cMon George... take some tips from the Trumpster. It was almost like it was preplanned by the yuk yukkers. You know he was a bit annoyed although he laughed along.

Rebecca did not raise squat. I am sure they spent $50,000 on the party intending to raise money from rich folks, so for Yahoo it was a double loss.

You don't seriously think that all of those execs went to that charity event, went home and threw those envelopes away? I was expecting to hear the total of the mailed donations last night in the live version. We will hear the total soon - it was announced in another thread that the charity will be announcing the total mailed in.

LAST EDITED ON 12-16-05 AT 10:26 PM (EST)DT - demanded Yahoo make a solid donation. It was not a refection on Rebecca. Also any money donated by those VIPs is now tainted because of the controvercy surrounding it. That is why contests have a time limit. They can not go forever. The idea was to give them an envelope to give money before they leave. Anyone who does fund raisers know that the time to get the money is Now. Who would not be impressed when you are the one getting all of the attention. Everything Yahoo wanted they got. She ignored the AIDs Foundation. What kind of integrity is that. Because she wanted to win she ignored the fact that she had a responsibility to the AIDs foundation.

I see your point, and I agree that under normal circumstances (read a real charity event) the envelopes would have, minimally, been passed out at the beginning (or at least made available througout with reminders of their availability).But, in reality, this was not an AIDS foundation benefit. Yes, that's what it was touted to be. It's what it should have been. But it was a Yahoo! event. Rebecca was hired by Yahoo!. Yahoo! paid for everything there. Yahoo! compiled the invitation list. And, that makes Yahoo!, not the AIDS foundation, Rebecca's client. The mistake of not actually fund raising at the event was a Yahoo! mistake, imo. As they said they'd never done such an event before, Rebecca did have the responsibility of at least addressing it. But, I think she and her team did try to address it, and were shut down by the Yahoo! execs. more than once. Perhaps they will learn from the experience and, if they ever do another, they will allow their event coordinator to do it correctly.   Bad Wolf! by PM

Yes, due to her incompetence at raising money, and her failure to realize the point of the task, the Yahoo executives were so embarassed at looking like cheapskates on national television that they were shamed into giving a large amount of money to her charity. If you want to add that to Rebecca's total, be my guest.
