And thank you Jan for the link to the letter, Jan! Hi, Pinkey! Just to clarify - I just meant that for me - one issue was to find out how much the benefit took in and where it went (expenses or donated to charitable organizations A, B and C for example). And the other issue for me is when that's known then I can discuss whether I think one of the organizations is deserving of it or not. Or generally what I think about an organization. So my interest in an accounting of the concert funds is completely separate from my opinion of TM (or HBC or any org that may have been a beneficiary). Morning! And thank you Jan for the link to the letter, Jan!

To be specific: No one on this blog is talking much about finding Haleigh. It's obvious that a concert held in Texas is not going to bring out the Floridians that feel close to Haleigh because she is a citizen of their state. Having a concert in Austin is pure BS. The video is a complete joke. The singer sucks. Poor Haleigh. She's grown up in a neighborhood of uneducated druggies. She never had a chance. Sure are a lot of perverts in Florida. The Florida state tourism board is going to have to do a lot of damage control. Right now I read a lot of posts from hicks.

So if the expenses of the concert exceeded the revenues then I would say your generous donation just bought that bands new sound,stage and light equiptment. I'd pissed if I were you. Your money just bought or rented their new strobe lights and "shiny" mirror ball !!!

One says all proceeds will go to The HaleighBug Foundation: http://haleighbenefitconcert.eventbrite.com/?ref=estw The Band's website shows where they are talking about the concert and asking to mail ALL donations to Tim Miller at Texas Equusearch: http://ow.ly/vUIl Now which one are we to believe? Also for those of you that are saying the video was just a practice run, go to http://ow.ly/vUIl and click on videos to the left of the page and you will find I think 10 different video's of the band playing that night. They are standing on the same platform and the same sign hanging in front of it saying "Let's Bring Haleigh Home". I am no expert but I still believe after watching these videos this was the so called concert. There is just something about this concert that bothers me., but you all can judge for yourself. Have a great day everyone. Jan Barrett - BNN Editor Liberty, we do have the facts according to the websites advertising the concerts.

Here's an easy solution, show the public how much money was raised and where it went. Honesty's the best policy. I know, it' a scary word for some. I don’t think so Liberty.

And it applies to so-called non-profit associations like HBC. Unfortunately in other recent cases - like the murder of Caylee Anthony - some existing so-called not for profits moved in and started getting money AND the so-called "grieving" grandparents have founded one on the blood of their murdered grandhild (murdered by her mother). So yes! We are a little concerned about these not for profits popping up in murdered and missing children's cases. It is a legitimate concern whether it leads directly to finding Haleigh or not. What do you suggest. We stand there and yell Haleigh all day long and let that be the sum total of our concern or effort to find her or at least keep her from being USED for profit?

It does seem odd that Crystal & Marie would come to Texas for a fundraiser for Haleigh. I like the analogy you used Simon (re high school band. I am from Texas and not one radio or TV station promoted this Haleigh Benefit concert. I am an hour from Austin and even closer to Bastrop. Friends in Bastrop (where the concert was held) told me they did not know anything about it. Maybe the coffers have run dry in Florida for anything Haleigh related by the Sheffield or Cummings' families. There have been numerous successful fundraisers for Somer Thompson in the Clay County, Florida area. None were held in Texas! There are many missing children in Texas. To my knowledge, no fundraiser has been held in Florida for a missing Texas child! Simon & Jan:

In addition, are subjected to an external audit upon request. Therefore, Even if they made only five buck on this concert if the funds are not used for what the nonprofit mission statement then they are in breach of corporation law. I truly believe when someone gives with their heart monies to find Haleigh that they want that monies to find Haleigh. If they are all legitimate no harm no foul.
