Rush is asking for help for Tony Snow's kids

I would hope that Fox, the govt., etc., provided benefits...but maybe not, if Rush has to ask.

Rush wouldn't ask if he didn't have to.

RUSH: I'll be out tomorrow. I'm going to Washington for Tony Snow's funeral in the morning, and Friday was a scheduled vacation day off. I have a member-guest golf tournament at a super-secret location. So who we got tomorrow? We have Jed Babbin tomorrow, and Mark Davis from Dallas will be here, holding down the fort on Friday. I, of course, ladies and gentlemen, will be back to serve humanity once again on the following Monday. The Thursday thing with Tony and the funeral just came up obviously this week, and I moved a lot of things around to be able to go to it. And, by the way, speaking of that, there is an address and a bank if you want to contribute to a trust that has been set up for the education and expenses of his children. It's at our website, RushLimbaugh.com, and you can see where to send any amount that you can spare, if you so desire. Have a great next couple days and weekend and see you on Monday. Look forward to it.

The Tony Snow Family Trust

Donations for the education of Tony Snow's children can be made by check:

Center for Health Transformation Attn: Tony Snow Family Trust 1425 K Street, NW Suite 450 Washington, DC 20005

Thank you paulat.

That was nice of you to post the information.

[paulat]

Thanks, Cindy...just didn’t know how to do this except quote the Great One Himself :)

[cubreporter]

That seems amazing to me. Yes, Fox, the Gov’t all should have had programs that cover their employees and their families. Can’t imagine no life insurance or health insurance benefits with jobs of that magnitude.

Tony Snow...rest in peace. You were a good man and will be missed.

[misterrob]

with the deal that Rush just signed he could fund an account with no trouble at all.

Pony up and show the rest of us how it’s done

"Can’t imagine no life insurance or health insurance benefits with jobs of that magnitude."

I can't imagine Tony Snow not being smart enough to have adequate insurance for his family.

Statement in Regard to ‘Tony Snow Family Trust’

Last update: 6:42 p.m. EDT July 14, 2008
WASHINGTON, July 14, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — In response to the many people who have called and asked how they could help, the “Tony Snow Family Trust” was set up today at the Wachovia Bank in Bowie, Maryland, to help with Tony Snow’s children’s education and expenses. Jill Snow, Tony’s wife, will serve as the Trustee with Tony Snow’s three children (Kendall, Robbie and Kristi) as beneficiaries. Donations can be made directly to the Tony Snow Family Trust by either: sending a check made payable to the “Tony Snow Family Trust” to: Center for Health Transformation, Attn: Tony Snow Family Trust, 1425 K Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20005 or going to www.healthtransformation.net, which is the website for the Center for Health Transformation. Tony was working with The Center for Health Transformation on a cancer project with Geraldine Ferraro to help eliminate cancer as a cause of death.

Randy Evans, the grantor of the Trust, stated that, “Serving our country at times means sacrifice. Tony did just that. At a time when he was at the pinnacle of his career at FOX News, he was asked to serve his country and he gave up the financial rewards his future held. Having served his country well, Tony left the White House to earn money to help secure his children’s future. Unfortunately, fighting cancer did not give him much time to do that, and so, the purpose of this Trust is to help achieve Tony’s goal of securing his children’s future including their college educations.”

I’m guessing that his “priors”, i.e. previous colon cancer diagnostics...might have made him ineligible for life insurance...hence, his late sad try to make money for his family.

Ping for later.

[paulat]

Thanks so much, Cindy...tomorrow will be a sad day of goodbyes...but a celebration of a life well-lived!

[paulat]

Cub...do you know yet...will there be any live broadcast of the services?

[Cindy]

“...but a celebration of a life well-lived!”

Yes, it will.

[nutmeg]

Thank you, paulat and Cindy. I’ll alert FReepers on my ping lists to your info in #1 and #7.

[nhoward14]

Ummm... I have never known Rush to promote a fundraiser without making his own donation to the cause.

Thank you nutmeg.

[Kickass Conservative]

Rush “ponies up” all the time.

$300,000 every year to the Lymphoma Leukemia Society.

Matched the $2.1 MILLION winning bid for the Harry Reid smear letter. Proceeds went to a Marine Charity.

And these are just the ones we have heard about. Despite the conventional thought, Rush doesn't publicize his good works.

On FR, we praise success, we don't play the class envy card.

[CindyDawg]

Sometimes funds are set up...not so much because they are needed but because people just want to show their respect by helping. JAT

[libbylu]

I am sure that he has. Don’t forget his 2.1 million matching check not long ago for I think soldier’s kids, the blood disease benefit he does yearly, and goodness knows what all.
