Make fundraising schwag optional.
Things I have (or will have by the time I finish this year's marathon) received from the AIDS Marathon training program that I have absolutely no use for:
- two bright yellow polyester "performance" t-shirts that are too big and too scratchy to run in (not to mention too unattractive)
- two birght yellow polyester "performance" singlets, ditto
- a folder full of preprinted envelopes and letterhead for sending fundraising letters like it was 1994 and a lot of people still had not heard of email
All 4 shirts went or will go straight to Goodwill; the envelopes went into recycling and the letterhead went into the scrap paper pile for my printer as I sent all my fundraising letters via email.
It seems like the AIDS Marathon could send all these materials only to the people who actually want and plan to use them, and then that money I am working so hard to raise would not be wasted.

I’m frustrated by wastefulness
