These scenarios are always interesting. I often wonder how charities justify sponsorship of any kind, but I guess they need to market themselves to find more funding - somewhat of an oxymoron situation, really
And then there's a joker who has been dead for over 2000 years who was sponsoring a V8 Ute and a Muscle car. The brand recognition was amazing though as the first time I saw it, I said Jesus Christ as well
