Evan,

I am heading to a meeting outside the office in about 15 minutes and will probably be out-of-pocket the rest of the day.  In case we don’t speak this afternoon, we have confirmed the establishment of the JOSEPH R. BIDEN, III CHILDREN’S EDUCATIONAL TRUST FUND.  Donations may be sent to my attention at the firm address below.  Please feel free to share this with anyone who has inquired.  I will also follow-up directly.

Thanks for your generous support and friendship.  It is greatly appreciated.  Please keep me in the loop with respect to future Penn/Castle/NYC events honoring Beau.

Best regards,

Michael

Hi Josh and Michael:
Any updates on funeral fund or color on Natalie / Hunter financial needs?
I have pledged 10k to BB scholarship at penn and will wire 1000 to funeral fund. Please send me wiring instructions. Happy to push all efforts forward. I would like to set up a call and include Phil Timon regarding the November event, but first want consensus from you all. Confidentially, Evan

All:

As a follow up from our call, these were the ideas being discussed:

  *   Funeral Fund.  On Friday, Josh will circle back to group with details on the the outstanding amount.  Currently $110,000 pledged/received of $140,000 needed.  Based on that amount an email will go out to the group already solicited, from the Castle and FO The Castle.  Ask will be for minimum of $500/head.  EAH, MCH, EG and Patty can follow up with calls;
  *   Biden Children’s Educational Fund.  Awaiting understanding of 1) need, 2) vehicle and structure to donate;
  *   BB Penn Fund.  $95,000 has been committed.  $30,000 required to close the scholarship and get the Penn matching dollars.  Eric and Evan will discuss with Phil Timon a black tie event for November 6, 2015 in Philadelphia.  This will be at a club such as Union League.  ~$1000/head.  Proceeds to pay for dinner and overage to go to BB Penn Scholarship Fund.  The idea would be to invite Beau’s friends from Penn and his closer friends, D’Amato, Bucini. O’Malley, as well as Hunter’s closer friends.  Halley, Hunter, VP Biden, Ashley would be invited.  This would be in place of the annual Castle dinner, but would focus on raising money 1) for the Penn Scholarship; 2) BB Foundation;
  *   Beau Biden Castle Annual Pool Tourney.  Evan and Eric to discuss with Timon.  This would re-brand the Castle Pool Tourney in January at the NYAC.  Money to go to BB Penn Scholarship fund, if this has not been filled, then Natalie/Hunter Biden education fund (though the need is still unclear.)
  *   Misc.  Idea to publish a book or documentary on BB and we can do an advance party to raise money for wherever appropriate.
Thanks all,

Evan

Dear Michael, Josh, Eric and Patrick:

The messaging vis-a-vis Beau’s family’s financial needs and opportunities to honor his legacy remain unclear.  The outpouring of love remains obvious.

I was hoping to get some clarity so I might be able to prioritize and help share the word.  I do think that personal finances are very private and discretion is paramount.  I will outline my understanding of needs and “options” (in no particular order, though I think the priority must be the family) and I am hopeful that tomorrow we might get on a call to discuss facts and strategy:

 1.  BB / Castle Fund.  $95,000 pledged of $125,000 that will unlock an additional $25,000 matching fund from University of Pennsylvania;
 2.  Funeral Fund - $60,000 still needed to pay off $200,000 in expenses;
 3.  Hallie, Natalie and Hunter fund to pay for their living expense/education.  This is less clear in terms of necessity and amount.  This should remain off of an email thread outside of present company, in my humble opinion;
 4.  BB Foundation.org<http://Foundation.org><http://Foundation.org>.  Has raised $200,000 thus far.

Of course, when we chat, we can also discuss several events for the fall to honor Beau and continue to raise funds/awareness.

Have a nice evening,

Evan

PS Josh and Eric, please resend me your cell #s.
