We just went through a major fund raising event in our office to bring in food donations for a local food bank.  IMHO it got out of control as to "make it more interesting" departments competed against each other with the department who gave the most weight winning.  The winning department was served lunch by the losing department.  The amount of time emailing encouragement, skulking around the office to see what had been brought in (departments actually hid food)...

Then we have the employee donated foundation - we have payroll deduction, bake sales, basket raffles etc.  It's all just too much for me.  I want work and my charible donations to be separate.

I dread the next few months, with girl scout cookies, wrapping paper, candy and all the other things schools sell to make money.  Why can't the parents pay for their kids to be in these clubs, teams and not expect charity to get little Johnnie to Band Camp?
