Palani, I'm sure you're right about ARC being a great organization with a great social cause and mission statement. However, the sad thing is people will lose faith in them and may cease to donate.  I used to donate cash to the Salvation Army of Hawaii, until I found out that their lead president had been caught embezzling over $300K from them. I lost faith in that organization and now only donate goods (clothes, toys, etc.) that I want to get rid of.
