As you probably remember, last year's Birthday Project was a collective donation to CARE (www.care.org). We gathered $1,775 that were donated in Sarah's name on April 14th. Since it is a great cause and Sarah is still an ambassador for CARE, we've decided to donate again to them this year  We are well aware that the current state of the economy does not encourage huge donations, but even the smallest amount will make a difference. Even if you can only spare $1, please do not hesitate to contribute to this project. You can send your donation through Paypal to eleagold@yahoo.com and I will keep track of all donations and keep you updated here regularly. You can include your screenname as it might make it easier to keep track of all the donations. As I did last year, I will post the receipt as a proof that the money has been donated right after I receive it. Because we chose to use Paypal, Care will not be able to issue individual tax receipts. The global tax receipt will not be used by anyone. If you are planning on participating to the project and really want a tax receipt for your donation, or for any questions about this, please contact me at eleagold@yahoo.com We have a little over a month to gather as much as possible! Please feel free to spread the word around, convince your friends to donate to a great cause, post in other forums, etc. And please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions regarding Paypal or the project in general. "For my birthday, I ask friends to make a donation to CARE in my name. It makes me so happy."
- Sarah Michelle Gellar, Instyle May 2008 |

Fanhost's SMG forum and gellarfan, also, have this posted! Just a few bucks, folks! Do it for Sarah; but above all else, do it for the people who will benefit from these donations.No matter how bad you think you have it, there are people in far worse condition. (No money will be expended on any Vampire Relief projects......I hope) And THREE CHEERS for eleagold: what would we do without her!!!

I don't think this person understands what the project actually is. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Bottom line is, this is for nobody's ego, this is for charity and a good cause that Sarah happens to support. And to keep our spirit up, we reached $334.05 (for anyone wondering about the 5cts, blame the USD vs Euro conversion lol) |

I wish it could have been more, but everyone is hurting right now. Thanks again for doing this for all of us! |

Haven't updated in a few days, but we now are 95 cents short of $400. Now who has one dollar to spare to take us over $400? |

$420 now 13 people have donated so far, from at least 5 different countries Once again, please please please, even if you can only donate $1, please do so. Every dollar truly count!! I had an idea and I wanted to run it by you before doing anything. I have a few copies of the H Magazine with Sarah on the cover. I know not a lot of people were able to get a copy and I was thinking of putting them up on ebay and donate every dollar from the sale to the project. Would anyone be interested in this? If so, let me know and I'll start the auction. |

Great idea.
Since you paid for them, if you are willing to give them away for this good cause, I say how generous of you.
May I ask how much this mag is costing? Must be more expensive than People, In Style etc.

lol H magazine is a free magazine. The only thing it cost me is the gas I used driving around, trying to find it  I need to take a look around though. I'm sure I have several issues of certain mags, like Maxim or Gotham. |
