Another generous gesture by Bubba that will never be publicized

Today on The Bubba the Love Sponge Show, he welcomed Steve Hurley and Andrew Conrad from Stingray Chevrolet. They were there to discuss a charitable organization called Unity in the Community, which they are supporting again this year.

During the conversation, Bubba questioned them about some reports he received from last year's involvement. He wanted to know why a car dealership would be donating televisions for a raffle, instead of a vehicle. Clearly surprised at this change of topic, the representatives from Stingray Chevrolet explained that it would be a very expensive proposition to donate a car outright. Bubba inquired about the actual dealer cost on a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. Without wanting to give away too much internal financial information, they were willing to confirm that a very nicely equipped 2010 Camaro would cost them under $30,000.

At that point Bubba challenged Steve Hurley, the president of Stingray Chevrolet, to match his charitable organization in splitting the cost to donate the car. Fortunately for the fine people at Unity in the Community, Bubba and Mr. Hurley reached an agreement to do this.

Although no exact amounts were discussed on air, using the figure of $30,000.00 that was mentioned, The Bubba the Love Sponge Foundation will be contributing up to $15,000.00 to ensure the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro will be part of the raffle.

I dare some major news organization to post this article and give credit to Bubba the Love Sponge, the people at Stingray Chevrolet, and direct some attention towards the good works put forth by Unity in the Community.

  1. This wouldn't be a news story anywhere. Its 15K to a local charity and would read more like an advertisement for Stingray Chevrolet more then anything else.

    Bubba's like the racist guy who when accused of being racist says "I've got black friends". Instead he's being accused of being an insensitive dick and he throws some money at the problem and says "Look, I'm a good guy" and expects everything to be fine.

    To top it off, its not even his money, its his foundations money he's suddenly throwing around 3 days after saying something stupid. Plus he never actually did apologize, he simply apologized to those he offended, he didn't apologize for saying F Haiti.
