This can't be right, because it was the eight one it probably would mean that they spend EVERY penny they raise on these conferences. Unless for some reason the conference @ Disney was 100x the normal amount, spend on these things. They have another one planned in Mallorca (spain) next year, curious to know what the estimated cost will be for that one.....Quote:

It can't be right if 22q's financials are accurately reported on their website. The PDF's are all 404's, but the pie graph says ~80% of their revenue goes to the cause. Administrative and fundraising were small slivers.Quote:

It's quite a boost to meet others in the same situation and to get their tips on how to deal with certain aspects of their unique day to day life. If part of the funds go towards subsidizing families that otherwise couldn't attend that is good too. That said most conferences like that are run with the intent of making a profit.
shouldnt druff be writing this guy a thank you letter for putting this horrible looking site on the map

Family workshops and professional programs ran on the same days (Sat/Sun). I arrived I. Florida on July 3rd to help starting the setup for the conference. There was a cost to parents and professionals to attend $250 parents, $400 professionals). So with fees, there is some money raised. We also sold ads in a commemorative program. I got the Filthy Limper radio show a free ad because Johnny had been mentioning the foundation and 22q on the show since April. Then, the foundation received many, many grants to fund this we applied for a year to various organizations for funding and raised most of it. Disney was chosen for the family part of this. Normally, this conference is held on a much smaller scale and for professionals only. Mallorca is supposed to be a combination conference, but there is a 22q group in Spain that is handling that. The foundation, in addition to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Dempster Foundation did a great deal of work on this. I don't think the Foundation could have done this by itself. But the work involved is enormous, and again, all volunteer. My wife and I came in late on this, and we worked for 7 months on it, mainly fundraising.
Cliffs:
22q puts on enormous conference
Much is paid by attendance fees and grants/donations
Conference is scheduled 4 days, my family goes to Disney early, and turns it into a 11 day volunteer workfest
Fundraising barely covers the nut due to Orlando's biggest fucking rat
FLPR free rolls the program book for helping spread awareness.

I've got to say, I'm pretty fed up with the accusatory questions towards the foundation at this point. I have answered every single one quickly and consistently for a week, and people keep churning them up. I'm done answering these at this point. I've given all the info I have on the foundation, and what Jasep's scam was all about involving the fundraiser radio show. I've also been on 3 radio shows to talk about this. I. Pretty fed up. There are plenty of worthy charities that struggle to stay afloat and help the people they want to help. In case people haven't noticed, the economy has been in the shitter for over 5 years, and people just aren't parting with their money these days. Times are tough, and all of these charities rely on donations to continue to do the work that they do.Quote:

I'm not answering any questions in regards to how they manage their money, their executive board, or anything like that. If you have suspicions, keep them to yourself, or go find the "Charity Fraud Alert" message board and post them there.
Thanks

joe please don,t make the same mistake as the crew on 2+2 my posts are not an attack on the charity in any wayQuote:
