Sometimes I think I am just too cynical, but I sure would like to see this web page talk about what percentage of the fees collected go to charity, and detail their previous grants and amounts. Also, before entrusting them with nearly $10 grand a person, I'd like to see some financial information about the foundation -- sure hate to be stranded in Pakistan midway through the contest!
There is a page to click on entitled "Who We Support" that lists some charities at the bottom but provides no information beyond that list.
At the top of that page, they say:
"The GreatEscape Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) California-based non-profit
organization designed to promote charitable giving and other noble causes associated
with the annual GreatEscape: The Global Scavenger Hunt™ events."
What is their selection procedure? What characterizes a "noble cause" if it is NOT a charity?
