Dirty Girl Mud Run - Not That Helpful To Their Charities

Those thinking some of the $60 - $70 fee they are paying to participate in a Dirty Girl mud run is going to charity are correct. A whopping $1.50 - $1.75 will be going to help those with breast cancer. Well some of that small amount will. THAT is how much is going to the charity. Any overhead the charity has will come out of that amount. The organizers of  the Dirty Girl Mud Runs are not in and of themselves a charity. They are a company who organizes the events. They take in large registration fees from people who are under the assumption they are helping a charity. Unlike the American Cancer Society, Dirty Girl is not primarily into helping breast cancer survivors. For Dirty Girl self profit comes first. This can still add up to some money. For every 1000 who participate in the event the charity grosses $1500 - $2000. But  that is a far cry from the $ 6000 - $7000 it first appears is being made. Check you charity events girls, not all of them really are.
