The drive is over, and any money that trickles in today will be refunded. We’ve popped the top on our goal with $1098.90 raised.

Add that to the $1033.28 raised for Burma and that means Jorja Fox Fans raised $2132.18 in three months!

From the 80ish year old woman who called me for help setting up her paypal account down to the teenager whose parents called to make sure I was legit before putting their child’s allowance in some stranger’s paypal account, I salute you all.

With just over half a day left, we’re there. Astounding!

I want you all to take a moment and say ‘I rock’, because in the span of three months, you guys raised over $1000 for JAA’s Burma ‘It Can’t Wait’ fund, as well as JFO’s Animal Acres 40th Birthday for Jorja. Think about that power of fandom for something other than a new iPhone or a video game. We did something for the world, expecting nothing more than the good feeling.

That’s the kind of social action that inspires us to make the world a better place. We are all better people for doing this and I’m terribly proud to be associated with all of you! I’m in talks with Animal Acres right now to do the donation in a way that honors you guys as well as Jorja Fox.

So we’re not at $1000. $800 is still pretty awesome. There’s 4 days let to get your money in if you’ve been sitting on it. If you’re waiting for payday, feel free to let me know so I can hold off the money transfer for ya.

Still raising money for Animal Acres

We’re getting closer! With just 2 weeks to go, we have a real chance at making it, too!

By the way, those who asked why I’m not offering incentives: my real job matches money I donate up to $2000 for any one charity, provided I meet certain criteria. Sadly, offering y’all incentive is one of the things I can’t do. But it does mean that my donation will be followed by a matched, anonymous, donation from the company. Personally, I thought that was more important.

Updated with new percentage because you guys rock!

With a month to go, we’re almost halfway there. If you have anything left from the Burma Campaign (and woohoo! for JAA in breaking $1000), please consider Animal Acres.

Sound repetitive? Well Jorja and Eric’s video is one of the most viewed News and Politics YouTube Videos. As our sister site is raising money for the cause, we’re helping spread the news.

I’ve put in a meter along the sidebar to give everyone a live status. It looks all pretty too, don’t it? Animal Acres seems to be leading the pack, which is probably due to Jorja and the Hoe Down. I set our ‘goal’ at a rather arbitrary $200. I’ll keep bumping that up as we get closer, since if we raise over $1000, we can actually name things for Jorja. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

Please spread the word to every CSI community that allows this sort of advertising. This is not a JFO only event, this is for everyone who wants to wish Jorja happy birthday.

Thanks to JAA, we have some banners and buttons for you. If you want to make your own, email them to webmaster @ jorjafox . net (just remove the spaces, spammers…). Please don’t send GIF files, as they will be deleted by my mail server. If you have a gif, I suggest posting it on tinypic.com and mailing the link. As always, hotlinking to JFO won’t work. You’ll need to download these and host them yourself.
