Please provide the proof to this - especially the number of kids (100's a year or what time frame?) and what portion of the expense is covered by Ted personally (not donations to his foundation). Steve
Yes, plus even if he does provide this from his own pocket he is probably using it as a charitable write-off somewhere which in turn saves him on taxes. In the long run this isn't costing him anything. Like most celebrities who associate their names with good causes, it is more for personal publicity and benefit than anything else.
