According to an article that appeared in the Wilmington News Journal on January 21, Wilmington, Ohio-area charities have not yet received the money raised by ticket sales from Glenn Beck's December event in the town:

Total Beck impact still being tallied

It's no secret that a lot of money changed hands in Wilmington on December 14, 15 and 16, the three days when Glenn Beck brought his talk shows and legions of fans to the city. Business boomed, non-profits received much needed boosts and the local economy felt the surge that Beck had hoped for.

Putting a dollar figure on that impact, however, is still tricky more than a month later.

“That's a good question,” said Laura Curliss when asked how much Beck brought in through his ticket sales and appearance fees -- a sum he said he would donate to Wilmington and Sugartree Ministries. Curliss, the executive assistant to Wilmington Mayor David Raizk, said the city hadn't spoken with Beck's producers, and where that money will go is still up in the air. “I don't think it's fully known.”

Beck's live television broadcast at the Murphy Theatre sold out all 860 seats at $125 apiece. By that count, the box office income alone could have exceeded $100,000. (Producers from the Glenn Beck Program did not return phone calls or email messages seeking comment or clarification.) And an early morning breakfast with the talk-show host cost 70 of his fans $500 a plate.

Danny Mongold, the president of the Murphy board of trustees, said he received a check from Beck's production team last week covering the rental fee for the theater. The city was paid $10,780 for police overtime and other related costs, Curliss said.
