Anyone watch this last night? I peeked at it a few times between crappy MMA on Versus and some throw away basketball games on Espen.
For those of you who missed, the founder of Raisin' Canes and some wealthy LA lawyer and his artistic son became poorhouse people for a week and found worthy causes to donate "at least $100,000 towards" at the end of the week.
So the richy rich lawyer and artsy fartsy son donate $50k each to a family with a sick daughter and a home for children with needs (I missed the beginning of the episode, so I'm not sure what made their cause worthy).
The Raisin' Canes founder and his millionaire-in-her-own-right wife (likely the bank roller for his chicken finger dream business) are from Baton Rouge, so they just rolled their SUV to the nearest trailer park on the gulf coast, which happened to be a devastated community of Katrina, several years removed. They gave $100k each to a high school football coach (the school was still in disrepair and brought rivals from several local schools together to win the state title), a pastor rebuilding the community, and someone working out of their FEMA trailer to build a community gathering place.
If you wanna cry a la Oprah but work during the day, this might be a viable alternative.
