I don't think it's the chapter that doesn't see value in it - it's the people who are donating. There are people who the minute they see "Thon" will open their pockets, because they know what it is, who it's for, and where it goes. PCAA doesn't ring a bell with the majority of people. Not to mention that there is a more than fair amount of provincialism here in PA (as I'm sure you know) and people would rather donate to a cause where they know their money is going to stay in the state.
