The worthy cause nor Tre are concerned with whatever spurious motivation you are. This is such a cynical take. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like the people who "can't afford" to tip at Starbucks, yet they can afford to pay $6 for a cup of coffee that they could brew at home for about 25 cents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. That’s why I slam the door in those old ladies faces, because I’m sick of them taking advantage of their age and frailty to manipulate me. Beeotches.

Einstein Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 On 10/2/2023 at 4:46 PM, WEATHER DOT COM said: All for giving to charities but does Tre's charity actually do anything? https://www.reachingforexcellence27.com/take-action Two events listed on the website - One is a mobile food distribution that was held March 12, 2022 The other is a football camp with a date TBD. I thought people would have learned when $100,000 of Bills fan donations to Andy Daltons charity went to "management". It's not entirely surprising. Some reports have shown that 3/4 of athlete charities do not meet typical nonprofit standards. In my opinion, people are MUCH better off sending Tre a "get well better" card to Two Bills Drive (these do reach the players), and then donating dollars to a real established foundation that has a history of high donation-to-giving ratios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players Philanthropy Fund is the sponsor of Tre's charity, and collects a 6% fee of all deposits (yes, about $2 of every $27 donation goes to the sponsor). It's essentially a 501(c)(3) vehicle so that players do not have to do the paperwork of setting up a trust. It's administrative. They, however, do not decide where the money goes or how it is used and the player can choose to end the sponsorship with a 60 days notice at any time.

It doesn't change the fact that Tre's specific charity has not run a single event since March 12, 2022. Hopefully his charity is passing this money on to an organization that is actively helping the community at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
