Yikes! Poorly worded message "Raised money in public service" = "Raised money in connection with my service to the public."

Our pastor introduced our congregation to a local youth ministry that focuses on introducing Jesus to at risk children. I live in the shadow of a once thriving seaside resort, which now includes areas of abject desperation within walking distance of areas of great affluence. I raised a couple of hundred dollars in pledges from lawyers in my firm for a 2 1/2 mile walk through town. I spent the morning with my eight year old daugter mostly pointing to the buildings and telling old stories of what this town was like in its heyday. This particular fund raiser was for a summer trip where the teens go in ministry go to Hati, which I have been told is quite transforming.

That sounds great.
