John Terry, the former Chelsea captain, has recently held the first of his four nights in Basingstoke last Friday, and was met with criticism after reports surfaced claiming he was charging fans £100 for autographs. But Terry has come out to defend the pricing, and to clarify that all money raised from his tour are going to his charity foundation, the John Terry 26 Foundation.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday evening, Terry said "The big thing – and this is very important – the big thing that they forgot to mention is that all proceeds from these events that I’ve been doing – and the only reason that I signed up – is to raise money for my foundation, for the John Terry 26 Foundation. I set my foundation up about seven or eight months ago because I wanted to do something personal and on my own where I’m going to be eventually hosting a gala dinner, golf events throughout the year, any opportunities to raise money for my foundation."
He went on to explain that he had been working with various charities for the past 22 years, and that he wanted to continue doing so in his own way. He also expressed his frustration with the press for not mentioning the fact that all proceeds from his tour are going towards his charity.
Terry also revealed that he had been at another charity day working for BGC in London on the day the reports came out. He said, "Giving up my time, giving up my day, for all these charities is something that’s very important to me and I’ll never stop that. Really frustrating for me actually and I’m just fed up with the press writing s**t over and over again."
It's clear that John Terry is passionate about helping various charities and giving back. We are glad that he has come out to clarify that all proceeds from his tour are going to his charity foundation, the John Terry 26 Foundation.
