P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Some time afterwards, when Mr. Dion Boucicault visited me at Bridgeport, at my solicitation he gave a lecture for the benefit of this cemetery. I may add that on several occasions I have secured the services of General Tom Thumb and others for this and equally worthy objects in Bridgeport. When the General first returned with me from England, he gave exhibitions for the benefit of the Bridgeport Charitable Society. September 28, 1867, I induced him and his wife, with Commodore Nutt and Minnie Warren to give their entertainment for the benefit of the Bridgeport Library, thus adding $475 to the funds of that institution; and on one occasion I lectured to a full house in the Methodist Church, and the entire receipts were given to the library, of which I was already a life member, on account of previous subscriptions and contributions.

白话
后来，剧作家布西考特到布里奇波特拜访巴纳姆，应他请求为公墓义讲。巴纳姆还多次请拇指汤姆将军等人为当地公益项目演出：汤姆从英国回来就为慈善会义演；1867年又请汤姆夫妇、纳特和沃伦为图书馆义演，筹得475美元；巴纳姆本人也在卫理公会教堂演讲，收入全捐给图书馆。这说明：利用自身资源和名人效应做公益，既能回馈社区，也能提升个人和机构声誉。
