HOLLYWOOD, Fla.--Half of a ten-year-old grilled cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary has sold on eBay for $28,000. The winning bidder wasn't disclosed on the Web site, but was identified by The Miami Herald as GoldenPalace.com, an online casino. The company's CEO says he plans on using the sandwich to raise money for charity.
Are the online gambling shops big into raising money for charity? I was not aware of that. Can I take the tax write-off for contributions or are these charities offshore?
