Not Fade Away Campaign
Jennifer
As Angel fades from The WB lineup, the Food Drive mounts it's final
campaign. Although The WB obviously doesn't know a good thing when it
has it in it's lineup, fans do. Let's keep the pressure on and show
the studio suits how much ANGEL means to us. Let's ensure a future for
the Angelverse.
Wanting to go out with a bang, the Food Drive is planning to either
pay for a truckload of food for The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank or
pay freight on the truckload. The costs for freight run from
$300-$2500 and the cost of a truckload of food runs from
$12,000-$36,000. We believe this large gesture will warrant media
attention and show ANGEL fans in the positive, committed light they
deserve.
As part of our fundraising effort toward this goal, the food drive has
been soliciting donations for an eBay auction. So far, we've been
promised items from three Angel authors (John Passarella, Christopher
Golden and Jeff Marriotte), Tim Minear, Jim Butcher (whose audio books
were read by JM), James Marsters and Fox. We are continuing to contact
people and will have additional items soon. We will be announcing the
auction date within the next week.
In addition to the charity auction, we are accepting financial
contributions via PayPal on the Food Drive site. We will use the
proceeds to help pay for the freight/truckload of food. If we should
fall short of our goal we will present the Food Bank with a check for
the amount donated.
