Actually...no, I won't even get the tax deduction because the check will be cut directly from BB.com to the CHOC hospital in my name....I just thought it was a cool gesture to donate the money as it was BB.com that was giving the award, and I'm their spokesman.
Granted, the fans are the ones that voted fair and square...and I appreciaate the support as they voted me the "peoples Champ" with a 90% vote...but I thought giving it to charity was the right thing to do, and helps the kids...
For anyone to question my integrity, or that there is some undermining to it is pathetic. Shawn worked hard on the golf charity, and ended up donating MORE than the $25,000 he pledged to the CHOC....he could have pocketed that money for himself, but was upfront...made more money than he commited to, and gave them THOUSANDS more than he originally pledged.
