fangirl_says | Remaining funds donated from Please Do Feed the Writers/Write No Evil

Based on the results of this poll, in which we voted to support all three charities suggested by the writers with the funds left in the Please Do Feed the Writers/Write No Evil campaign, I have donated $100 each to:

*the Lange Foundation, a no-kill animal shelter, suggested by Eric Kripke,
*ANSAfrica, which works to combat AIDS and advance democracy in South Africa, suggested by Cathryn Humphries, and
*WriteGirl, which is an organization for high school girls centered on the craft of creative writing and empowerment through self-expression, suggested by Sera Gamble.

Each donation was made "in honor of" the writer who suggested it, from "Fans of TV's Supernatural". All three of the writers should get a card from their charity to let them know that the donation has been made in their honor.

According to the Lange Foundation and Writegirl websites, our $100 donations will save one dog or cat from an LA city animal shelter (plus a bit left over) and provide presentation materials for one complete full-day workshop. ANSAfrica didn't list specifics, but it sounds like there are many important things our donation will be used towards.

Lange Foundation's donation was done directly from the paypal account that was used for Write No Evil. ANSAfrica and Writegirl didn't accept paypal, so I put those two donations on my credit card and will transfer the paypal money to my account. If anyone would like to see receipts or my bank statement showing the donations were made, please email me at toastytravesty @ gmail.com. :)

Meanwhile, the good folks at Fandom Rocks are collecting donations for WriteGirl and another charity, Invisible Children, so please consider helping them reach their goal.

Thanks again, everyone!

EDIT: When I got home, there was a nice hand-written card from WriteGirl. I don't have a scanner, but the text is below the cut:

"Thanks so much for your generous donation to WriteGirl. A card has been sent to Sera Gamble notifying her of the donation made in her honor. Your contribution helps us continue to provide a high quality mentoring program for teen girls and serves as a demonstration of your support for the community. Sincerely, Keren Taylor and all of us at WriteGirl"
