*NSYNC In Charity Flap

On the weekend of *NSYNC’s Challenge for Children Foundation fundraiser, Culinary Workers Union 226 is alleging to The New York Post that the charity “does not meet Better Business Bureau standards” for giving away money, and also says they’ve obscured this fact in IRS filings. The union has filed “investigation requests” with the BBB, the IRS and the Florida attorney general’s office, since Challenge for the Children’s next fundraiser is in Miami this weekend. CFTC rep Melinda Bell insisted, “We are well within the IRS guidelines. Our books are open.”
