Hi there,
I’d like to request the removal of Laura Washburn’s name from this article. While she serves in a professional capacity, the mention is not directly relevant to the topic of this page. The decision to decline the donation was made by No Kid Hungry as an organization, not by an individual spokesperson.
I propose updating the paragraph in the Philanthropy section as follows:
Current:
After returning from prison in 2020, Hernandez intended on donating $200,000 from the $2 million he had earned from "Gooba" to No Kid Hungry. However, the director of strategic communications, Laura Washburn, declined the donation, saying "We are grateful for Mr. Hernandez's generous offer to donate to No Kid Hungry but we have informed his representatives that we have declined this donation...As a child-focused campaign, it is our policy to decline funding from donors whose activities do not align with our mission and values." Hernandez responded on Instagram, saying "@nokidhungry rather take food out the mouth of these innocent children I never seen something so cruel".
Proposed:
After returning from prison in 2020, Hernandez intended on donating $200,000 from the $2 million he had earned from "Gooba" to No Kid Hungry. However, the organization declined the donation, stating, "We are grateful for Mr. Hernandez's generous offer to donate to No Kid Hungry but we have informed his representatives that we have declined this donation...As a child-focused campaign, it is our policy to decline funding from donors whose activities do not align with our mission and values." Hernandez responded on Instagram, saying "@nokidhungry rather take food out the mouth of these innocent children I never seen something so cruel."
This change more accurately reflects that the organization, not a specific staff member, made the decision and issued the statement. It also better aligns with Wikipedia’s Biographies of Living Persons policy, which discourages naming non-public individuals unless their inclusion is clearly relevant and well-sourced.
