OUR MISSION
To share our enjoyment of David James Elliott while we give back to others.
This idea was born after the 2002 JAG Fanfest. We discovered that while we enjoyed the creative outlet, knowing that it was doing some good was very satisfying. These raffles and other fund drives are the result; It gives us "Purpose Behind our Passion" It will be our endeavor to find/create/share items we think you will enjoy (centered around DJE of course) and raffle or auction them off. All proceeds will be given to charity. (Amounts in 'white' are links to an accounting, acknowledgement letters from the Charity organizations, etc. are also links shown in white)
Current:
- 2010 Calendars: 3 to choose from - David, Harm, The Rainbow Tribe. All proceeds will be donated to __________. TBA
- 2009 David-a-thon: Our annual on-line charity fund raiser. Items to purchase, raffles, games, and auctions.
Ongoing:
- Malibu Photos for purchase. All proceeds after processing costs benefit
The Elizabeth Glazer Foundation. This is a great way to collect some awesome photos and help lots of children at the same time!
- DVD's to Share of David's filmography - All proceeds after processing costs benefit David's Bursary at The Stratford Shakespeare Festival School.
Accomplished:
- 2008 DAVID-A-THON including the 2009 Calendars raised $5042. With that we will fund the 2009 Stratford Bursary, $2500. $550 was added to the EGPAF fund (sale of pics) in order to send them $1000. There is $1000 in a fund for a Camp Thunderbird (TRT) memorial. $700 was added to the MS fund (Guard DVDs) in order to send them $2000. And with the remaining monies I have sponsored a child in the name of ForDJEfans. through "Plan USA" (the organization that David did a PSA for). Our child is a 5 year old girl named Sheelu Sudama from India. *Please* anyone who would like to be a part of communicating with Sheelu get it touch with me. I want this to be a community effort. It would be especially helpful over the next few months as I enter 'tax season' and my time becomes limited.
(click on thumbnails for larger versions) The letter below explains the process and gives important details for communicating with Sheelu. Thanks to all who participated!
