Any one read about ESPN discovering that K and O are not using their Cathy's Kids charity money for any research? They state that all money received will go to cancer research, but ESPN said that in 8 years of collecting money, zero has gone into research or anything related to cancer.

They have raised well over 2 million and only 60% went to send some kids around the country to play basketball and $70K a year goes to his best friend as a salary.

So... where is the rest of the money?

^^ I read the article. The charity's supposedly been dormant for years.

This part of the article stood out to me:

When no one from Cathy's Kids would agree to an interview, "Outside the Lines" approached Odom in the locker room after a game to ask questions about his charity. Odom did not answer any specific questions about the charity's spending, wasn't able to explain why his agent and business manager said the charity had been dormant and became visibly upset and ended the conversation. More than a month later, his agent arranged a sit-down interview with Odom in Los Angeles, but Odom still didn't answer questions, saying he just wanted to apologize for the locker-room scene.

When pressed for details about some of the expenses, including DeGregorio's salary, listed on the IRS forms, Odom repeatedly responded by saying, "It's my money," and refusing to explain any further.

Here's the article: http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_...ity-experts-say-efficient-effective-use-money

Um someone may want to tell him its not his money and this wife actively solicits donations on her ebay auctions for this charity. So where is THAT money going??

^^ I guess that's what happens when you put a Kardasahin and Lamar in a money gathering scheme.

Even though they are both employed and making lots of money, they still want more.

Maybe one of Khloe's fans can spin the explanation to us.

Makes me sick and the charity is in his Mother's name.


More quotes from the article.
In 2004, Odom founded Cathy's Kids, named after his mother who the NBA forward says died from cancer. But eight years of tax records reveal that Cathy's Kids never gave any grant money to cancer-related causes and that the charity primarily existed to finance two elite youth basketball travel teams. Of the $2.2 million raised by the charity, at least 60 percent -- $1.3 million -- went to those AAU teams.

The only paid executive was Jerry DeGregorio, now an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors. He was Odom's high school coach and best man in his wedding to reality TV star Khloe Kardashian. As secretary of Cathy's Kids from 2004 through 2011, DeGregorio made a median annual salary of about $72,000, while the charity operated at a loss since its inception. Its 2011 tax returns show it $256,000 in debt, mostly stemming from a loan Odom made to the charity, according to his business manager Lester Knispel, also the charity's treasurer.

When no one from Cathy's Kids would agree to an interview, "Outside the Lines" approached Odom

Odom did not answer any specific questions about the charity's spending, wasn't able to explain why his agent and business manager said the charity had been dormant and became visibly upset and ended the conversation
