FOX DEFENDS RAINFOREST FOUNDATION

Following article was posted earlier today by FOX in response to The Post article: The Rainforest Foundation, closely associated with Sting and his humanitarian cause-driven wife Trudie Styler, is one of our favorites. It�s squeaky clean and does an enormous amount of good in Third World countries. That�s why today�s poorly reported piece in The New York Post was such a shock. The writer got it wrong, and left no chance for rebuttal. It was a smear, a hit and run. So let�s correct...

STING'S RAINFOREST FOUNDATION UNDER FIRE

Charity Navigator, a watchdog group, has rated the Rainforest Foundation as one of the worst for percentage of actual monies used for the purported charity.
