Didn’t somebody just post the other day that Dubya was paid $100k by WW to speak?

Any way Fisher Houses has the best ratio of money put to real work.

They take outstanding care of the families of the wounded at Walter Reed Hospital. Provide free housing, transport, group support and more to eliminate as much external stress in a highly stressed situation.

Been supporting them for more than 10yrs now.

I think he should have just asked for expenses, but apparently very high proceeds could be attributed to his appearance.

According to the charity's yearly reports to the IRS, it raised about $2,450,000, after expenses, from the 2012 gala where President Bush spoke. The following year, the gala netted the charity substantially less, about $1,000,000.

Yes...I got a chance to see them in action. Amazing. Great organization, Fisher House.

Dang it, I noticed my dictation software keeps putting in “Fischer” house...
