The sun is setting on our first campaign. The donations have been delivered to Lawrence Community Shelter and SOS Children’s Villages. Each charity received $1,023.11 for a Campaign #1 grand total of $2,046.22. We put together a PDF report (Fandom Rocks Report June 2007-August 2007) to document all of the campaign funding sources. If you have any questions or feel the information is incorrect, don’t hesitate to let us know.

Brande, Rebecca, and Dana are gearing up for the second campaign and beyond. The final tally on our charity poll placed the Lawrence Humane Society and Semper Fi Fund as your top choices. We have contacted them and are hopeful that they will accept our interest and support soon. Here are just some of the things we are working toward over the next few weeks:

• Incorporating as a non-profit organization
• Hosting promotional tables at conventions: Are you attending and willing to help out? Let us know!
  • Something Wicked
  • Creation’s Salute to Supernatural
• Communicating with the Supernatural cast & crew on the campaign progress
• Creating new contribution methods for fans; including Ebay links, becoming an Escrip group, etc.
• Working with you, the fans, on creative ideas for fundraising: knitting cat toys, auctions, garage sales, etc.

One last note

The promotional items from the Kansas Film Commission included: 1 tote bag, 2 size large t-shirts (1 blue, 1 brown), 2 baseball caps (both tan), 1 executive notebook (similar to this padfolio), and 1 engraved Leed’s Mission Twist pen, all with the Kansas Film Commission logo and text. We will select five random donors from our first campaign for five of these items. We will contact you by order drawn, and you will get your choice of one of the items. The remaining two items will go into a raffle for our second campaign donors. We will announce the winners during our podcast for “All Hell Breaks Loose” Parts 1 & 2 next week. Don’t worry, we’ll email you, too.
