Wash. man says support charity, not Charlie Sheen

By

EVERETT, WASH. (NEWS1130) – Instead of buying tickets to see Charlie Sheen, donate the cash to a charity.  That’s the idea of a Washington man who thinks people can spend their money better elsewhere.

A businessman in Everett, Leland Dart’s campaign is called “Charity not Charlie.”

He’s hoping to make some good out of Sheen’s upcoming tour.  “A few thousand people will go see him… he’ll go out of town and all of his dollars will go back out of town with him.  We wanted to find a way to make sure the local community is supported whether Sheen shows up or not.”

And Dart’s not really asking for much.  “Give $25 to a local charity.  If you don’t have $25 then give $25 worth of your time.”

There’s no one organizing anything like this in Canada, but charities like the Red Cross could probably you your help.

Tickets to see Sheen at Rogers Arena on May 2nd are between $55 and $575.
