I received this email yesterday from one of our vendors, Vapor Authority. And it about made me sick. It definitely made me angry.
Our Commitment to Helping Children in Need.
Dear Newsletter Subscriber,
As mentioned throughout our 12-Day Christmas Sale, Vapor Authority was firmly committed to donating $10,000 to The Children's Health Fund. Your unwavering support helped us reach our goal, and on December 20th, we initiated a $10,000 wire to the organization.
To our great surprise and bewilderment, on December 21st, we received an email from Dennis Walto, the Chief Executive Office of The Children's Health Fund. The email stated:
"With this communication, I am letting you know that Children's Health Fund cannot accept your recent donation. Our team will be in touch to reverse the wire transfer."
Truly dumbfounded, we immediately contacted the charity to inquire as to why our donation was rejected. We were told that due to our industry, the organization cannot accept our donation. They claimed that since Children's Health Fund is an organization devoted to aiding children's health, accepting funds from a company that sells electronic cigarettes is not something they can do.
As a result, we were forced to identify another charity dedicated to helping children to whom we can donate. After careful consideration, we selected the Make-A-Wish Foundation as the recipients of the contribution. We submitted $10,000 to the organization on December 28th, and have received our certificate of contribution, which we would like to share with you.
Please see the image of our certificate below.
Vapor Authority would like to sincerely thank all of you for helping us reach our target, and in turn, lending a hand to children in need from around the country!
