The Elephant Project... (A charity project I started)

Hi everyone,

This summer, I started a small charity project that actually might turn into something kind of big. It is called the Elephant Project and is to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. My grandfather passed away two months ago from Alzheimer's so I decided I wanted to do something to give back in honor of him. Alzheimer's disease that is a form of dementia that causes the victim to lose memory among other things. There is a phrase "elephants never forget," and we are trying to help people who are victims of Alzheimer's to "never forget." This is how the elephant became the mascot of the project.

I am having celebrities sign a business card that says "Elephants never forget... Thank you for buying an elephant to help someone never forget" and take a picture with an elephant beanie baby. I will then auction these items off to raise the money. I just started the project and I already have had 21 people to sign and take pictures.

My website is... www.elephantproject.org
The site isn't totally finished but the basics are there.

I hope all of you check out the site and hopefully support the cause. Thanks.

David

Bump. I hope some people look at my site and give some feedback. I'd love to hear some opinions.

I think it's a very clever idea, "The Elephant Project." And your celebrity auction section is pretty impressive. I hope it grows and grows.

Make sure you keep really good financial records so that you can keep people posted as to how much money has been brought in, and exactly where it's gone.
