The United Way is involved in endangered species' protection? While protecting the Great White is a worthy cause, that's hardly the right choice to garner publicity.

Noooooo, part of what she and this group did was place their posters OVER others, some of which included the United Ways posters

They are just kicking off a fundraising campaign today and said this is the best free publicity they have ever got, lol
