I agree and understand with what you're saying but if you think that Pishead and the Chunt look bad now, imagine the headlines the day after they shut down a food drive.

I think it's entirely possible they could say it's not allowed due to some set of rules - probably against selling stuff (i.e., collecting things of monetary value) on the property or something like that.

That said, if they TRIED to stop it, it'd probably make for a pretty negative PR story in the midst of everything else.

This.

Is a BRILLIANT idea because it's a no-win situation for the Chiefs.

They can, and will, ask you to leave because you're soliciting donations on private property. You can't do that without permission, just ask the Salvation Army.

But as you said, if they DO make you leave, they just shut down a damn FOOD DRIVE. That's about as Draconian as you can get.

Go get em boys!!!

I'd ask a lawyer who would give you a decent pro bono answer but, at the very least, incorporate as a business entity or non-profit to make sure that the protections offered by such laws are extended to the organization and, by extension, the founders/operators.

The more on the up-and-up you are, the less effective any attack on your efforts will be.

Just my $.02.

We would be partnered with known charities from the area. There's no way we're taking all that on in 4 days. We're just using our brand name to get cans there and do some good in the community.

I think doing this with an organization that is established (or in their name) is a way to address the requirements of the law below:

Maybe you could find a member here who practices law that would handle it on a pro Grbac basis.

My bad. I mean pro bono.

Its taxpayor funded property and if the Chiefs want to try and shut it down, they'll have a far greater issue on their hand.

Worst case scenario, we move the thing off property.

You throw enough cans of food at security until they leave you alone.

I hope you guys are right. I could just see them coming up with something making you move it off site, just out of spite. Not trying to piss on the plans, I think it's awesome. Just wanted to throw that out. They control the property which means they could justify it however.
