Shelby stated in one of his rebuttals that the goal of his foundation initially is to raise money and build up a "war chest" if you will. And that is true with most any foundation. The goal of a foundation is to amass enough money so that the foundation can be self-perpetuating, and use further donations and interest gained from the endowment to distribute to charity. The endowment is left intact to continue to fund the foundation.
The man has made a difference and he is doing something positive...you can't take that away no matter how hard you try.
I am not defending Shelby or even trying to but facts are facts....he started the childrens fund and does a LOT to raise money for it....the fact that he is taking steps to ensure it's survival long after he is gone is responsible and something to be commended...not criticized. You know it would have been really easy for him to just take every bit of the money he has invested and raised with signatures and just put it in his pocket and not worry about the childrens fund. I would think that unless you have done something better then you have no dog in this fight and have no right to criticize the man for starting the charity and taking steps to ensure it's survival.

Hello all, just to let you know that the owner of the Gt 350 ® is this guy... http://www.auto-design.ca/index_e.html and not Shelby or Ford.
The Shelby Trademark is for G.T. 350 (notice the periods)
