muzzle@lemmy.zip 2 weeks agoCan someone explain the “I did it for charity” angle? I never understood why would someone do a sporty thing, that they clearly woyld do anyway, motivate me or anyone else to donate money to a charity. To be honest it always felt quite performative and self serving to me.

You get people to “pledge” donations. It’s partly about raising awareness for the charity and partly because a lot of people are more likely to donate to these types of drives versus donating just because.
