It can be for a charity, a business, an individual, anything. And any reason.

The pizza shop that refused gays has now generated $250,000, just shows how many Christian right wingers are out there…

...of whatever someone wants to raise money for.

You want to raise money for an animal shelter? Great!

You want to raise money for a pair of boots to kick dogs with? Great!

Not hard to understand, really.
