There is no way to put a positive spin on this. It's flat out wrong. I have no problem paying CS for his signature on a glove box cover, or air cleaner, or whatever - he's a hero for many people. But when you promise to give the money to sick and dying kids - and then DON'T - that's insane! It may or may not be criminal. Several State's Attorneys General - should look into this.
Again from the article:
So far in 2007, the foundation has received $725,000 in cash through the auction of two Ford-donated Shelby GTs. Ford sold them at a Barrett-Jackson auction and then turned the proceeds over to the foundation....On June 22, the foundation announced its first grant this year: a $10,000 donation to the Children's Medical Center in Dallas for the care of an 18-month-old girl born with a heart defect.
Again - there is no excuse for that. You can't say in one breath he's s shrewd business man - and in the next breath that he's a confused old man who doesn't know where his money is going - WTF - and again - all the while doing this in the name of sick kids - it's outrageous.
