the store I work at is having this huge compatition to see who can raise the most moeny in the district for the march of dimes. all cashiers are “encouraged” to participate. I’l have to sak all my customers if they would like to make a donation. who ever gets the most, will get a $50 gift card and if our store wins, we’ll have a pizza party. now, I really don’t care about prizes and all that, that’s not why I’m at work. but I’ve heard bad things about the march of dimes. ,I’ve heard that they support embrionic stem cell research and abortion. so, if any of this is trie, I would like to know and would like some documintation. we get all kinds of grief if we don’t participate. my supervisor is not a christian. my store manager is though. so if there is som ereal proof that they are participating in these things, can someone let me know? I want to do good works at my job and like participating in the charity fund raisers and I don’t want to look like a jerk if none of the things I’ve heard are true. can anyone give me some accurate information on the subject? thanks

I work for Kindercare and the company is real big on the March of Dimes stuff as well. I think almost everyone is walking the march and they get a t-shirt. Now, I was just hired so I have the excuss of getting involved too late. It did sound like they were going to allow those who partipated to come into work wearing jeans in their t-shirt. If they weren’t particpating than you would have to dress in your usual. They thankfully aren’t doing this.

We are supposed to ask parents who come in for their donations. I just let the box be there and if they want to donate they can, but I don’t make a show of it. To be honest though, my boss is Catholic and iff it came out that I was choosing not to for a specific reason, I could easily see this as a competition of “Why aren’t you? They’re a good organization? How can you say you’re pro life when you don’t support an organization that helps pre-term babies stay alive.”

The problem primarily is that they do pre-term screening and say you find out your baby has a genetic disease that meas that within a couple hours of birth, your baby will die. The thing becomes a “Why bother go through the labor and then the misery of watching your child die? Just abort.”
