Imus is doing a great thing for those kids with cancer. He is very good at raising money for the ranch. The kids that go there need doctors and nurses 24 hours a day. That can't be cheap. The WSJ is off base on this one.
What are you talking about?
The Imus ranch hosts the siblings of children who died of SIDS --- i.e. healthy children requiring no medical attention.
See for yourself: http://www.cjsids.com/ranch_2002/
"During June, July, and August groups of 10 kids stay for nine days at a time and spend the time doing chores and learning the basics of handling horses. The young ranchers might gather eggs, groom horses, mend a fence, or move stones."
What is this ranch used for the remainder of the year? Personal use by the Imus Family? If it is, then it does not qualify as a legitimate tax exempt organization.
