[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 85193, member: 67"] Re: Charity Events The graphic in Robert Lofgren's post sums it up. I got to see how this is done decades ago when a family friend worked for the Speakers West bureau of the American Cancer Society. A celebrity would waive her/his fee for appearing or entertaining, but the expenses of appearance had to be paid... and that included artist's mandatory contributions to pension and welfare funds, equivalent payroll taxes, liability and workman's comp insurance, personal assistants, makeup & hair person that travels with the artist, instrument technicians, back line buyouts.... And the ACS would find sponsors to offset those expenses. Chuck, if you're in audio as more than a hobby (i.e. you expect it to make a profit) the band should understand that and respect you enough to not impose their idea of charity on you. [/QUOTE]
