Bristol Palin got $262,500 from sex abstinence work
by Yereth Rosen
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - Bristol Palin was paid more than $260,500 advocating against teen pregnancy in 2009, tax documents released on Tuesday show.
Palin, the 20-year-old daughter of former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, earned $262,500 for her work advocating that teens abstain from sex, according to information posted on the Internet by GuideStar, which monitors the finances of nonprofit groups.
The Candie's Foundation, a nonprofit organization that seeks to raise awareness of teen pregnancy and parenting issues, reported Bristol Palin's earnings to the Internal Revenue Service.
"We know that Ms. Palin's work has had a positive effect on creating awareness about teen pregnancy," Ali Tyrangel, a spokeswoman for the foundation, said in a statement.
Tyrangel said an independent survey of 1,000 teens comparing Bristol Palin public-service announcements with those of another organization using non-famous teens found that the Palin spots were much more powerful and attention-getting.
"Bristol Palin has been a courageous and powerful partner to the Foundation as we attempt to discourage teen pregnancy," she said.
Representatives for Candie's and Bristol Palin could not immediately be reached for comment.
Bristol Palin, then 18, was pregnant during the 2008 presidential campaign and her son was born in the month after the election. She and the boy's father, Levi Johnston, had a much-publicized breakup.
Both young parents have embarked on separate celebrity careers.
Bristol Palin was a contestant on ABC's television program "Dancing With the Stars" and went on the lecture circuit;
Johnston has been promoting a proposed reality television show and posed, shortly after the 2008 election, for Playgirl magazine.
Bristol Palin is still featured prominently on the Candie's Foundation web site, along with several other celebrity spokespeople such as actresses Hilary Duff, Hayden Panettiere and Vanessa Milano.

Bristol Palin’s Nonprofit Paid Her Seven Times What It Spent On Actual Teen Pregnancy Prevention
April 5th, 2011 at 5:24 PM by Lee Fang
In 2009, Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol joined a teen pregnancy prevention nonprofit called the Candie’s Foundation. Today, the Associated Press reported that the Candie’s Foundation released its 2009 tax information, revealing that Bristol was paid a salary of $262,500.
But a closer examination of the tax form by ThinkProgress shows that the group disbursed only $35,000 in grants to actual teen pregnancy health and counseling clinics: $25,000 to the Mt. Sinai Adolescent Health Center and $10,000 to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy.

true concern would have inspired some "volunteer" work
I love how these people get paid outrageous amounts to accomplish nothing more than gain attention towards themselves more than anything else
TBH .. her speaking about abstinence is somewhat akin to Michael Jackson speaking on plastic surgery

The moral of this story is that pre-marital unprotected sex pays. Big.

both are gay.
ironic how she can download a kid from a douchebag and make money telling people not to have sex. So does she tell her son he was a mistake?
