Question

If Jerry Lewis has raised millions every year for 46 years on his telethon, why haven't they found a cure yet?

Answer 1

You obviously don't know your history.  Lewis originally started a telethon for POLIO which WAS wiped out, years ago... then he went on to some other dieseases which were also wiped out.

Answer 2

That is a great question.  Wonder exactly where all that money went.  Wonder how much went to "administration", etc.

Answer 3

Let's see you cure anything only by throwing money at it.

Answer 4

They have no incentive to find a cure! If you find a cure they can no longer ask for any further donations! They should only get money if they find a cure!

Answer 5

Just goes to show that not everything can be fixed by throwing money at it... wish Libs could figure that one out.

Answer 6

Raising money is like doing business. Do you know that it is a way to avoid tax, and you ear at the same time in the name of administrative fee. Yes they put a percentage to research in different disease, In that way it cover earning no outside audit would come to verify the true cost
