Maryland youth ranch scales back telemarketing drives
The Maryland youth ranch halted direct telemarketing solicitations after board members and sheriff Jim Hagg objected to script deviation and product-based asks. Telemarketing had yielded up to 110000 annually but fell to 60000 in 1998, with supporters requesting newsletters and timber sales to raise funds. The ranch, founded in 1979, houses 300 homeless boys and relies on state operating funds around one million yearly.
