Thank you. The promoter, who is 20 years old was trying to do a nice thing for a struggling family. He and his family spent close to $7,000 on this event. That covers the singer, airfair, venue, sound person,printing, raido advertising and misc items. We could not get sponsorship however the family did, but we saw none of that money. As for taking jars with donations, that is ridiculous. The family had their own table set up at the event with a donation jar and bracelets for sale. They took that money home that evening. We have no idea how much that was. The counter where tickets were sold had a few bracelts (that were tallied that evening) and a jar with less than 20.00 in it. After the event the TR Agency issued a check, but amazingly this was on the news before the mail would have even arrived. After losing close to $7,000, there would be no point in keeping a tiny bit of money from a donation jar. All receipts and the money spent will be provided to the family and media. The media dropped the ball on this one. No one scammed anyone, and I am shocked the family sought out news coverage immedietly after the event but not in the weeks prior where it could have helped with ticket sales. They are not out any money, but a 20 year old trying to help out a family his mother saw on the news is out a lot.
