Idk if I'd be so sure, I had seen another reddit thread pop up today about his employees recovering more money than they use for the actual charity

I believe there is a website that tracks big charities, and I am pretty sure most of them are like this....and that sucks.

Yeah most charities aren’t in fact for charity. They’re for tax write offs and big profits.

Let’s distinguish between poorly run charities and grifts like this where more than half is just going straight to pockets

While true, he physically attends the pediatric hospital every Tuesday. So that at least is legit.

There are over head costs for charity. That's reality. You're going to need to be a lot more specific

Russell's charity reportedly spen more on employees than doing actual charitable works. They spen $600,00 on charity and $1.1 million on salaries from 2020-21. Ryan Tarpley, CEO of the charity, made double industry standard in salary. He is also Chief Strategy Officer for the Wilson's home office, which is illegal double dipping.
If you want to become infuriated, Yahoo! has a good story on it.
As a bonus, the Wilson Celebrity Golf Tournament boasted about $2million in donations to a Seattle children's hospital. But in actuality only donated $78,000 while the Tournament itself cost $800,000.

That's bad. Thank you for the source

Those are pretty abysmal ratios. Who is this Ryan Tarpley guy? I'm assuming a close friend...

Overhead is a real thing but it should be reasonable. I think the exact line of acceptable costs is easily debatable but his charities are reportedly spending over 50% of their income on overhead and I'd like to think any rational person would say that's too much to justify the existence of the entity if true.
