maybe he could provide a mx related favor to his donors, much in the way presidential candidates provide favors (once in office) for organizations that donate millions to them!

He should use the money to buy Summey a new tattoo: an airport landing strip covering his back.

Why do you even care ?? It's a tax write -off if you donate and if you don't want to donate then don't, if you do.

I don't really care...I'm just tired of the "hand out" policy that seems to be running rampant in motocross now. Especially when the money isn't going to what is was sent for.

"it's a tax write off"...wow, really?

I'm more tired of the handout policy for people's medical bills, I pay monthly for me and my kids to have it and no one helps me out with it, so maybe we should work on that instead of bitching about some fan who wants to help out Jeff Alessi to race, you're in or you're out get over it.

Sondra,
The Alessi's are not a 501c3 not for profit, any donation is not going to be legally deductible

donating money for him to do something, it's not used for intended purposes, so just get over it? why would we care? you can't be serious.....
If he doesn't do something 'good' with the money and tell the people who donated where it went, he'll get a major bad rap for it.

Last time I checked this website was for him to get cash to race, he's not doing drugs, he's not an alcoholic, he's not running contraband it's for racing.

Where was I bitching about somebody wanting to help Jeff Alessi out?
I was simply asking what the money would be used for, or would it be returned?

Instead you get all defensive and pissy.

If a rider can't make it in MX racing, maybe it's time that they start looking for another career.

Who says Redbull Honda is going to pay him? They might just be giving him a bike.

pissy ? yeah who's still ranting over/questioning the website being there, like it'll affect your life in anyway.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to help a rider out, people do it all the time, why can't they try different ways to keep racing ? Get a new career, yeah that's an option he will have to consider, but maybe there are more options he can do.

My understanding is that Honda was going to give a bike for WA (so far, one race).

You are wrong, he was not asking for money a fan who posted on this very chat board started it for him and he was going to donate the money to Jeff to race and like above was stated how do you know what Honda will or will not pay for ? Maybe he just got a bike and Mechanic and now he has to get his ass to the race. Who's to say he's even received money ?? It's all hearsay.

I don't get it.

Weigh potential risks and benefits.

Decide to give, or not to give.

Then live with your decision.

Sounds simple.

He should care because alot of people take advantage of charity. By the way if you write it off its only 15% of what you gave. It peanuts.
