It is only a consequence if the performance boaters chose to turn their backs on the charity, and make it a consequence. As I have pointed out, all it would take is some adapting and a high performance boating event could still be held on a lake that has a speed limit. And rides in performance boats do not have to take place at speeds over 45 mph.
I gave just a few example of paddling events that raise a LOT of money for charity. Sailors also raise a LOT of money for charieties. And there are walk-a-thons, and run-a-thons, bike-a-thons, and hike-a-thon that each raise many hundreds of thousands of dollars each year for charieties. And these are all non-motorized events. So please stop acting like performance boaters raise more money for charities than other groups - because that's just not true.
