Bobblehead doesn't know the difference between a foundation and a fund. Maybe she would if she bothered to set one up! As usual, Bobblehead is perfect and everyone else is to blame. An honest person would be the first to admit it was their fault, apologize, admit embarrassment and rectify the situation openly. But not Bobblehead!!! It probably cost her a big chunk of Jeff's money in legal fees, and a sizable donation. The LLS made this arrangement w/ her to take the fall before they realized the full extent of her lies. She played her usual happy-go-lucky, dumb blonde routine and it worked. Her lawyer probably wrote that letter and got the LLS PR person to sign off on it. She's probably dying for the opportunity to appear on the Today show to show off her new boob job. Or is it just the usual chicken cutlets? It’s obvious this was not a mistake on the part of the LLS.

I tell everyone that the proceeds will go to the foundation then I make cookies, Whole Foods sells the cookies - sends the money to me. I deduct the expenses for making the cookies and then I still keep a portion of the profits and I send a portion of the profits to my foundation? HUH? still very strange. I thought it was opposite - I set up the foundation, raise funds, then send a check to whatever causes my foundation helps support. wait – so if I started a foundation for my best gal that died from breast cancer and I want to be associated with Susan G Komen – I go to Susan G Komen and I tell THEM to submit the paper work.

This whole situation stinks of cronyism, CYA, the buddy system, under-the-table dealmaking, and pretense. What a piece of work. Thanks to those above who provided links!

A google search reveals that Andrea Greif is the public relations director for the <b>GREATER NEW YORK CITY AREA</b> chapter of LLS. http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/andrea/greif/us-70-Greater-New-York-City-Area/ Piper Medcalf is the legitimate executive director of LLS, Orange County California: http://www.linkedin.com/in/pipermedcalf This would explain why Andrea Greif didn't use an official title, etc. -- she's the mouthpiece for LLS in NY City!!! She has nothing to do with the situation in Orange County California. How did she even get involved? Hmmm...wasn't Gretchen in NYC recently just before this story originally broke? Did she contact someone she knows in NYC to cover for her? This web just gets more tangled.

I think Gretchen probably promised LLS that she'd make a large contribution, or somehow gift them with free advertising, etc. The LLS is conspiring with Gretchen to cover up her fraud. That's called complicity, and it's as illegal as the original fraud. Covering for Gretchen just cost the LLS a regular donor. I won't have anything further to do with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society if they insist on following through with this sham. Write to the National LLS headquarters and voice your complaints. There's always someone higher up that the district director has to report to. There is a "contact us" form on the National LLS website: http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/all_page?item_id=353528 I find this sickening, but predictable.
