Now that July is coming to an end, what happens in August? Yes, it’s great that money gets raised for a good cause, but my pet hate is when companies and organisations put on months like this, then once it’s over, that’s it, everything goes back to how it was. Why don’t those corporations just make it a permanent thing. It reeks of insincerity and philanthropy designed for their own self image.

The calendar advances in August, and numerous events, activities, and projects continue as normal. August's particular events and occurrences might vary greatly based on geography, country, and context.

Concerning fundraising and charity events, such as the one you described, it's not unusual for businesses and organizations to run specific campaigns or initiatives for a limited time to generate awareness and cash for a certain cause. These time-bound initiatives are frequently used as focal points to focus people's attention and resources on a certain goal. However, you are correct that some individuals may become dissatisfied if the efforts look phony or if support appears to dwindle after the campaign concludes.

The choice to make such initiatives permanent is complicated and can be influenced by a variety of variables, including financial concerns, long-term commitments, and the organization's unique aims. Some businesses continue to support and interact with charity organizations, even if it is not as visible as it was during the campaign.
Some criticize "cause marketing" or short-term charitable activities, arguing that genuine corporate social responsibility should be interwoven into a company's principles and operations all year. Long-term efforts, however, can be difficult to undertake and sustain, and various organizations have varied tactics for solving social and environmental challenges.

As customers and stakeholders, we must keep educated about the practices and beliefs of the companies we support and hold them responsible for their promises. Furthermore, funding organizations that make sincere and continuous efforts to promote social good can have a greater long-term influence.

Great response.
Try July is a fun gimmick and it raised a heap of dough.
 
I'd rather the companies just put the money up without all the gimmicks - i find the whole try celebration thing pretty childish and embarrassing.
Lol it’s a bit of fun you boring old sulk.
