It’s the stuff dreams are made of……. If you are amazed and touched by the fans of Angel who have organized Blood Drives across the US, then read this powerful story of how two fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer helped change the lives of children. Once upon a time, two Buffy fans came together, not only to share their love for the show, but also to put their passion to good use. Together, they formed Slay-A-Thon, an organization that raises money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a charity which Angel star J. August Richards also supports. Slay-A-Thon organizes a full day of watching the best Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes, where all the fans get together to indulge themselves in the best moments from the series. Together, they laugh and cry, all the time raising money via sponsorship to help children with life threatening diseases fulfill their dream. It's a full day of watching some of the best of the best episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel", meeting and laughing with other "fans," and having a great time while simultaneously raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois. You are not required to attend the entire event. Stay for the day or stop by for your favorite episodes. Now, you may ask "How can watching 'Buffy' and 'Angel' raise money? If that were the case I'd already be rich. Hooray!" We're able to raise money because people who attend the marathon get friends, family, and co-workers to "sponsor" them - just like with a walkathon, or other fundraising events of that type. Add the auction proceeds to the sponsor dollars and we’ll make a substantial donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois. If you want to be a part of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel history, then visit www.slayathon.org to find out how you can take part in the Buffy/Angel-fest, while raising money for a very good cause. You could make the world of difference to a child. The next Slay-A-Thon will be on August 4, 2007 11:00 AM until midnight. It takes place at the following venue: Dave & Buster’s Goldcoast - Showroom 1030 N. Clark Street (Clark at Oak) Chicago, Illinois For more information, please visit the Slay-a-thon website. www.slayathon.org |
