Beer Money Sign guy donating it all to UI Stead Family Hospital

[Knownothing]

His twitter account says total donation, including matches is now over $750,000.

This may have been asked, but for any tax lawyers/accountants out there. Will he have to report this and pay any taxes on it? Hope not.

No. It goes straight to charity. Sinc ehe didn’t reap any benefits he won’t have to claim it. He actually will probably have to pay taxes on the free beer he gets. Depends on if the irs considers it a a gift. Then again any IRS agents that would mess with that would be lynched.


Also best sign so far. Georgia vs Notre Dame and a guy held up a donate to Manti Teo girlfriends funeral fund

Giving the money to help sick kids is awesome. Is the only kids hospital in the state in Iowa City? If that is the case, then great. Otherwise, why not split the money up to help more than one area? I am curious as to how the decision was made. It seems like a Cyclone with Hawkeye parents was told by them that he needs to give the money to UIH. If if was his choice all along, this is a really great story. I don’t know of any charity more worthy than children needing medical help. Nothing else come close. If it were me, I would say the money goes to help sick kids in Iowa period. UIH does not need to named. Maybe there are more donations and more hype this way? Whatever gets the most money for the kids is probably the right move.

So apparently someone in the media dug up old social media posts from Carson King. He's at the children's hospital reading a statement and apologizing.

I keep reading that too but the Register doesn't have a story up as far as I can tell. KCCI and WHO were hot on the story though.

And journalists wonder why nobody likes or trusts them. He was 16 for **** sake. Quoting a TV show.

Every time something like this happens I hate the losers in the media more and more. People make mistakes and shouldn’t be judged for things said/posted 8 years ago when they were 16 years old.

Someone actually spent time going through his twitter trying to dig up something with the intent to bring him down. Its the most feel good story in the state right now, and someone made it their goal to find some dirt on him. Unbelievable. Somehow the media still can't figure out why no one likes them anymore.

The good news is the Register is catching hell from a lot of Iowa State and Iowa fans on twitter

JFC there are some terrible people out there. Can't they just hate themselves in private rather than drag others down.

Seriously how much of a loser do you have to be to dig through 8 years of tweets to find some dirt on someone that just raises $1M for a children’s hospital? It’s completely pathetic.

Are you telling me a 16 year old was an idiot on social media? Better send him to the gas chambers.

**** the DMR

Randy Pete?

What did the Register put out? A tweet?

 

[KCClone1]

The WHO article didn’t include the tweet so I still don’t know what he said. If he was quoting a Tosh.O episode who cares?

 

[CircumCYZ]

This has Randy Peterson’s fingerprints all over it. The king of stupid questions and statements

yeah, I can’t find where they reported it.

 

[fsanford]

I think we need to dig into all of the personal history of the reporter that dug this stupid stuff up.

That is just a hit piece nothing more.
