Yep... that's the way advertising works. In all it's glory. Same for his cancer foundation as it is for Micky D's.

It is very possible he could be personally funding it with a couple corporate sponsors, as opposed to using donated money from the foundation. I don't doubt that the primary name on the jersey will be "Livestrong," regardless of the funding mechanism.
