Federal agency's report: Muskegon Family Care didn't consider costs or alternatives for celebrity fundraiser | MLive.com:
MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, MI – The Muskegon Family Care administration used pricey advertising services and the help of celebrities for an extravagant fundraiser and golf tournament last year, but the occasion failed to generate returns.
....A finalized "limited scope review," completed by HRSA's Division of Financial Integrity in August and obtained by MLive Muskegon Chronicle under the Freedom of Information Act in October, said Muskegon Family Care spent $177,053 on costs related to the effort but raised only $23,114.
...The report, authored by HRSA program integrity officials Joshua Campos and Nancy Czarnecki, said Muskegon Family Care used PayPal.com to collect fundraiser donations but did not transfer the funds to the facility's operating account until January when the financial integrity team visited the site.
...In addition to the six-figure sum provided to Purpose Place, the center spent another $69,553 on other services.
Some of the larger expenses included: $11,400 mostly for first-class airfare for Bridges, Hildreth, celebrities and the owner of Purpose Place; about $15,000 in Muskegon Country Club charges and more than $18,000 for stays at the JW Marriott in Grand Rapids, the Doubletree in Los Angeles and the Montage Beverly Hills luxury hotel.
...Former Muskegon Family Care board member Sonya Hernandez, who told the Chronicle in an email that she resigned last October because of ongoing "shady" situations, said the board approved the fundraiser because Bridges said the effort would come at no cost to the health center.
