I'm not sure if you all remember the Elephant Project. I used to post about it often whenever we got new pictures, but stopped doing that a couple of years ago. We have rounds of auctions a few times a year, and right now we have a batch of 34 auctions on eBay to help raise money for the upcoming Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk. For those that don't know what the Elephant Project is, here is a quick catch-up:

The Elephant Project is an organization to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association. There is a phrase that says "elephants never forget," and in the fight against Alzheimer's, we are striving for those affected to "never forget." Because of the elephant's connection to the cause, we have celebrities pose for a photo with an elephant beanie baby, which are then auctioned off with an autograph and a beanie. For more information on the organization, you can go to http://www.elephantproject.org

As I said before, right now we have a round of 34 auctions going on. There are tons of stars from all different forms of entertainment. We have Broadway stars like Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Joel Grey, Audra McDonald, Debra Monk, Stockard Channing. Movie stars like Gerard Butler, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, Jane Fonda, and Susan Sarandon. TV stars like Chace Crawford, Adam Brody, Miranda Cosgrove, Jon Hamm, and Chris Noth. Singers like Lady Gaga, Ashley Tisdale, Brandon Flowers of The Killers, Loggins and Messina, and SO many more!

The link to our eBay page is: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/elephantproject

I hope that you all take a chance to check it out, and if you are able to bid, that's great! If not, please pass on the info to family or friends that would be interested!

For those that can't bid, but would like a picture, we are having Twitter contests every weekend this month to win a free 5x7 of your choice. All you have to do is add @elephantproject to your tweets and then on Sunday night we will randomly pick a winner out of all the tweets!

Bumping because there's only 1 day left... and Audra McDonald still doesn't have any bids!

If anyone's interested in bidding, the auctions are going to start closing in 10 minutes. This is going to be a record round for us, so if you can, help us make it an even higher number to beat next time!
