Default The Mick Fleetwood Foundation

Apparently, Mick has launched a foundation aimed at supporting musical opportunities for children.
While I am sure he means well, the nonprofit industry is saturated, and there are several other organizations with similar missions. He might've been better off starting his own fund or initiative through an established nonprofit. In any case, I hope it's better managed financially than his past ventures.

I saw something about it on Facebook yesterday. I'm sure that 99% of the money will go to the "operation" of the charity. This is classic Mick.

Well the Facebook page has the blue check, so I understand it's verified it's Mick's facebook. However, many public figures have their spokesmen, community managers, etc. So probably it's another guy who writes the paragraphs.

Hope he has wise guys to manage this foundation. It's proven that he has no management abilities.

Well he's finally doing something positive with his money and in his video presentation he says it's not always about giving money toward his foundation. It can also be volunteering your time with his "kids."

I went to the site. There is a special for the next 24 hours. Any donation of over $50 gets you a pair of Biddy's britches.

Something was definitely off with those comments, even by Mick's word-salad standards. But I see that now those comments have been replaced with different wording. Very weird.

website is still somewhat sloppily done with grammatical errors.
the key bit is this: "A portion of the proceeds benefiting the Mick Fleetwood Foundation."

What PORTION of proceeds he makes at this show he is promoting actually goes to the Foundation? Clearly he/they are paying expenses including paying himself and other performers out of the ticket sales. So what portion of your ticket price goes to the charity you think you are supporting? $1 from every ticket? With Mick, this is an important question. Lots of scamming this way. The whole Meghan Markle/Harry foundation is questionable for the same reason.

He's officially the BIGGEST POS that ever sucked oxygen.
WHAT
A
LOSER.

I pray to god this band is over, because the ending has just been pathetic. But I'm sure he'll be trying to milk something else lame out of it. After all, he's Mick Fleetwood- loser deluxe.
