: It looks like Pedro's "sold" the $10s for $5, with the announcement in advance that the $5 was going to the charity. I don't think it out of line to promote a worthy cause, *and* put a halo on a station, or a local restaurant chain: It's an every-day occurrence, isn't it? I think most every TV and radio station has a proud accomplish or two, where they helped a good cause, in the moment. Heavy competition in the market makes the (self) promotion par for the course.
: Full Disclosure: I bought one, when the site re-loaded. The first 100 went fast. ¡Que bueno!
Agreed. Any other group in the market would have done the same, and many have done similar things in the past. That's not to say that I don't agree with the OP.
