A charity that I'm very close to, Operation Breakthrough, serves the needs of poor children in Kansas City. After the Newtown, CT shooting, one of the founders, Sister Berta Sailer, issued a challenge to the people of KC to do something, anything to make a difference for kids locally.
She wasn't trying to promote her charity over other charities that might directly lend assistance to families affected by the Newtown tragedy. She said "We need to show them there are more good people than bad people" [1]. PG is reflecting this sentiment -- when something bad happens that you can't provide aide for directly, do something, anything good that helps others.
It's not about self-promotion, it's about being a good person.
