 It's hard to believe, but Dan's 19th birthday is just a couple months
away! Keeping in step with requests to use such occasions to gift to his
charity of choice, we encourage you to consider making a donation to Demelza
House in honor of Dan's birthday. Please visit our charity page for information
about the hospice and instructions for how to make a donation .
Remember, the children of Demelza need ongoing support year
round. Whether it is to donate in honor of a special occasion, in
honor of a loved one who has passed or merely because it's Tuesday and
you feel generous, this page is always available to you. Please visit
this section of our site regularly for updates or check the Donation
Widget to the right for an update on donations and totals. And, as
always, feel free to contact our staff with any questions.
Although
our approach to fundraising is one which suggests, "It's Not What You
Get, It's What You Give", this year we have chosen to honour our
contributing fans with a section entitled, " Demelza's Star Fans ." Each
fan who has made a donation to Demelza is listed with the number of
stars equal to how many donations they have made on our records! The
stars are intended to reflect that there are fans who have chosen to
make charitable donations as part of their lives on an ongoing basis.
Perhaps you can "challenge" your friends to a little game of "stars" to
encourage donations, and to see who can get the most stars!
We
will also honour one of our Demelza contributors each month to reflect
our ongoing efforts year-round. Special thanks to Mary Lou who allowed
us to post her own profile as a sample of what we'd like to create for
each and every one of you who contribute to charity. All you have to
do is send us a picture of yourself, tell us your name, your birthday
(not year), your location, your hobbies and pastimes, an interesting
thing about yourself that perhaps nobody knows, and a paragraph
regarding why you have chosen to make donations to charities.
We
will create and link every profile to your name from the list! You are
also under no obligation to send us anything if you wish to remain
anonymous. But we think it would be awfully down-right cool to see your
picture on such a prestigious and professional Daniel Radcliffe
website, don't you? Particularly for such a great cause! If you have
contributed in the past, then we welcome your support again and would
be glad to create a profile for you, even if you cannot donate this
time around. If you are a new contributor then we would welcome you to
Demelza's Star Fans!
We will present Dan with
links to our new section as well as keep him up-to-date with the
progress of our fundraiser via his Publicist. You can make donations
through our Official Fundraising Page , or just click the DONATE button
on the fundraising widget on the right. Happy Donating!
