Birthday Project 2011 Update--We're over $5000! Today's the last day to give

:yahoo: Great news! :yahoo:

The Zone's 2010 Birthday Project to benefit Mercy Corps' work in Japan has now topped $5,000!

:congrats: and :thankyou: to all who have given so far! With so many still struggling financially and with so many disasters needing help, it's so wonderful to see the total rise, bit by bit.

We still have today to give before Johnny's birthday is over...if you haven't given yet, there's still time! What better way to say :happybday: to Johnny than by supporting a cause and a country :japan: that he cares so deeply about?

Oh this is such good news, well done to everyone who's donated so far, pride for some is a dirty word but there's no shame in feeling that when reading the total that's been raised already. Hopefully that will increase dramatically before the deadline.

Thanks again to everyone for organising this fundraising idea, so touching and appropriate when associated with Johnny. :goodvibes:

Wonderful! :applause2:
I wish I could give more. At least being part of a group effort feels as if I am doing more, savvy?

With only FOUR more days to go, we've now gone over $4000 in our Birthday Project. Fantastic! Thank you to everyone who has given so far to help Japan in their recovery from the earthquake and tsunami.

My donation is small this year, since I've given to the tornado recovery efforts here at home. I've seen the power of giving, and how a little can go a long, long way. Thanks to the Zone for promoting a giving spirit, and thanks to Johnny for the continued inspiration!

:yahoo: Today's update...with just THREE more days left before the Birthday Project closes, we've raised over $4500!

:kiss: Thanks so much to everyone who has donated so far. We couldn't hope for a successful birthday project without each and every one of you.
:balloons: And if you haven't given to the Birthday Project yet . . . why not today?
What better way to tell Johnny Happy Birthday?

:ohyes: Just a reminder--the Birthday Project closes tomorrow night at the close of Johnny's birthday.

:twohearts: A donation to a cause that is near and dear to Johnny is the best gift we can give him. If you haven't given yet, there's still time to help us meet our goal...and exceed it!

Johnny's birthday and the last day to donate to the Birthday Project. For everyone who has given...thank you! And for those who haven't yet...won't you consider a donation in honor of Johnny's birthday?

Thank you, Zone, for the privilege to serve alongside so many other wonderful folks for such a great cause and because of such an extraordinary man's generosity! What an honor to be part of such a great project! Blessings to you all for your time and generosity as well! :heart: :love:

P.S.- I thought I posted this already, but I can't find it. I guess I forgot to press "submit." Sorry if this is a duplicate post! Happy Johnny's Birthday to everyone! :hatsoff:
