I was curious as to how this campaign did. I had participated in the “rounding up” during the time it was active, and thought it was brilliant from how it could easily facilitate micro-transaction charitable giving to Non-Profits, as well as provide great PR to the retailer. The resulting impact was surprisingly generous.
Perhaps this is also more widespread than I know. It seems so simple, and that is genius. I remember Subaru has a corporate giving arrangement as well with multiple charities, but that seemed to be more of a “you buy, we donate” thing. And yes, Amazon Smile...
USO brought Bob Hope and Anne-Margret to our base camp when it was over 100 degrees in sunny south Vietnam, CuChi base camp. December, 1968. 500+ KIAs that month. I WILL NEVER FORGET.
Today, USO also helps families of deployed soldiers.
All my donations go to USO-NC, to keep the funds in-state!
It's great that Harris Teeter participated in raising the funds. I wondered how they did. They did send me a thank you email for participating, but the email didn't mention the total amount of money raised.
I think the thread title should be, "Harris Teeter Customers donate 1.7 Million." All the money came from customer donations through rounding up, not a corporate donation. Nice of them to facilitate it, but HT didn't actually contribute all that money.

the OP chose the exact title/headline of the press release. Within the article, it was abundantly clear the customers and HT employees were the source of the funds.

My question on this, as well as other campaigns (such as WRAL's ones) is: Do they claim a tax deduction?
