If you asked the same group if they’d heard of cancer, I’m willing to bet they’d all say yes. I’m also willing to bet that those same people either know a cancer survivor or someone who lost the fight. My point here isn’t to devalue cancer awareness, but to show that more awareness is needed for diseases like ALS.

So, now we are seeing an emerging practice that for lack of a better phrase, I’m calling “Charity Jacking.” Charity Jacking is imitating a successful fundraising campaign theme or idea that has become popular and instead of encouraging donations to the original charity, redirecting donations to another cause.
