body: Suppose person A tells person B, "If you perform (service X) for me, I will donate $1,000 to Save the Whales (but no other compensation)." Neither A nor B has any connection to whales and will not benefit from this donation, but B happens to like whales and agrees anyway. Does this still count as consideration, even though there was never any possibility of B getting anything out of it? (United States)
  
  
  
title: Does consideration have to have value for someone who is a party to the contract?
