RIP - Dallas McCarver - 08-22-17

[Simple Simon]

what percentage of the funds collected will be going to these needy children (lucky for them this guy died so they could benefit)
how much are the administrators of this fund retaining for their "services"
which children in need will these funds be going to and when will they receive the funds?
can you confirm these donations are tax deductible ?

Maybe they are just going to copy the Clinton Foundation.

This charity wreaks of suspicion!

There is no other information other than it's a "charity."

Will they "open" their books for people to see where the money is going to?

I believe organizations that collect donations are required to open their books to see how donations are being utilized.

Yes nonprofits are required to open their books.

that would be an admirable goal but first there needs to be an actual Foundation

Awesome to Aaron for making this happen -   the total raised is $ 38,838 at the moment.


Yesterday's totals are in. Yesterday we sold enough t-shirts on @redcon1official site to donate $15147 to the @dallasmccarver foundation. This was less than 24 hours of you all buying the memorial t-shirt. That's absolutely amazing and makes me very happy. I know Dallas is looking down on us VERY proud of this, and probably a little amazed too. I don't think he realized how loved he truly was, or how many people he touched. THANK YOU to everyone who has donated or bought a t-shirt. There are no employees or costs associated with this charity, so 100% of these donations will go to children in need.




As for verification, of course this will go to people in need.    Both Aaron and I have kids, and have seen how important this is. Even Shawn Ray in the past has devoted his time to CHOC (Childrens Hospital of Orange County) with fundraising and donations.  

Ron you must earn some pretty good coin, I didn't see the name Ron Aviden on the list of donors.

Are you gonna donate to this worthy cause?

Money talks BS walks.

even Vince Goodrum donated $10 of his meager income

[Ronnie Rep]

I don't give a fuck.  My brother took his life because of his weakness toward addiction.  He was to blame, not the pusher or the douche that made the drugs.  I quit caring about him when he quit caring about himself.   If you don't care about yourself you wont care about others and that describes an addict.  Too much self love is nothing less than an inflated ego.

If McCarver's fambly gave more than a shit about him they would've stopped his bloated ass from taking all the stuff that created and ultimately killed him.  I had my brother arrested (apparently much to the chagrin of that fucktard ESfruitness) because I cared about our mother whom he had threatened.

My brother is dead and I will never see him again.  Never.  I am over that.  Why? Because my faith is also dead. 

Wow you are dead inside.

I donate a lot to various charities. My sisters son is autistic, and is my major cause is making sure these kids with autism get the respect and life they need to succeed in school, life and more.  When I see people making fun my kids with autism, it freaken pissed me off.  The kids deserve the love like anyone else.  But that is another thread.    I will help make sure their goal is reached and will donate soon.

no such thing as Autism when I was a kid, just quiet kids who minded their own business.


The problem these days is everything has to be a fucking illness
ADHD= kid that needs a fucking slap.

Ron,after donations, will you have enough money to pay for the server that hosts getbig?

[Ron]

I did donate, since some of you are right.     But yes, the server cost more money that some of you think.

With these two recent bodybuilder's death's the schmucks on Getbig are very busy posting as only they know how to do.

My sympathy to Dallas' family, friends and fans.

Well, you're a better person than I.  I have zero sympathy for anyone associated with the self destruction of this foolish, ego driven young man.  But the truth of the matter is you cannot intervene when the biggest part of an already overly drugged individual is their ego. 

This is more than likely a familiar scenario for a lot of young "bodybuilders".  Sad, because bodybuilding, real bodybuilding was intended to be a way of life, i.e., Physical Culture.

Now it's become nothing more than a Road Show. The road to dialysis.  And worse,   because as in this case, the road leads to a dead end.

[NaturalWonder83]

So kids charity was near and dear to Dallas heart apparently?
First I've heard of that
Never saw him talk about it or any footage of him
Just saw him going to gym food shopping and getting massaged
Could someone plz explain to me why he never ever mentioned kids charity once when he was alive
Hopefully Aaron once a junkie always a junkie singerman wouldn't be using this donated money to break even for the money dallas cost him by dying

[NelsonMuntz]

Alot of heartless cynical people on this site, makes me lol because alot of the people making dumbass comments have used/use drugs in various amounts, compete etc. Alot also are alcoholics and rec drug users too and make comments about Dallas ans Rich's use. Yeah they pushed the envelope but even touching an envelope has risks. Hope none of you making these stupid comments don't end up in a similar situation or lose someone.

And who cares if they made a charity in his names? FFS when people die they always have "in lieu of flowers donate to xyz charity of choice>

get the fuck out of here already with the stupid bullshit. Yes this is Getbig but some of you assholes need to take it down a notch once in a while

[robcguns]

Rip Dallas,you were a huge freaky bastard.

[NelsonMuntz]

So you're saying the truth has no place here? FTN, man.  F T N.

How do you know it is the truith? and so what its a RIP thread FFS.

Just saying have a heart man

That doesn't make him a better person, it makes him a weaker one.

I let that go with my faith.  And even if I had it, it has no place in a thread for a drug addicted conman ("confidence" man) like  McCarver was.

I don't mind that others think he was sliced bread, but I think he was just another druggie. He paid the price for his ego.  Just like Piana. 

[The Scott]

That doesn't make him a better person, it makes him a weaker one.

In some ways, that is very true.  To coddle and heap unwarranted praise upon the likes of Dulles is faint praise indeed.  The guy was a doper.  A heavy doper.  Drugs are the name of the game.  That's all that makes them bigger and stronger than others.  Without the dope they won't train.  Without the dope they're as tiny as can be and as weak as any other man. 

Addiction isn't a "disease" it's a weakness.  As someone else here just said, there were no medical "reasons" for so many things so many years ago.  And then some doctor decided that taking responsibility for your actions and reactions was "evil" and "judgmental" and came up with ADHD and a host of other "reasons" for fucktards fucking off at the expense of normal, hard working folk.

Hopefully Phildo succumbs to something nasty caused by his weakness for fake muscle.  Congenital stupidity sounds about right.

[The Ugly]

Not even sure I've RIP'd the guy yet, so here:

26 years-old is just too just goddamn young and beyond f'n heartbreaking, even if the guy was some straight-up H-shooting stranger, like many of our gone-too-soon rock legends.  

However. Is anyone in this God-forsaken industry the least bit concerned about the suicidal path every competitor MUST embrace to succeed at this level? OF COURSE it's ultimately a choice, but even the backwards Chinese install high-rise nets to help prevent hopeless sweatshoppers from CHOOSING to jump.

Question for those who still closely follow: Is it completely out of the question for year-round random testing? Not USADA or whomever, but the IFBB. Impossible to at least test for what we all seem to recognize as potentially lethal: insulin, diuretics, etc.? Months out, weeks/days before and after contests? The kidney-killers and heart-stoppers, is it truly a mystery what most contributes to these way-too-common disasters?

Twenty-fukking-six, this guy. How many of us even felt 'adult' at that age?

Leave the old stuff alone, fine. Whatever built Haney, Labrada, Paris, Taylor, etc. - they're all still living full, healthy lives. Ignore those drugs. But after '93 or whenever, when cartoonish huge became the norm? Anyone even find the modern, grotesque GH-gut physiques impressive? The look that's undoubtedly destroying organs by the day.

These officials/promoters/whatevers - whomever's sitting in Weider's old chair - how can anyone honestly say they're at all concerned about the well-being of their cashcow "athletes"?

That's all I got for now. Sure another'll be dropping here shortly, anyway.

I used to think Aaron was a complete scumbag but then I heard he's fulfilling all of Mccarvers remaining
contract to be donated in cash to his foundation for young kids
