Thanks to Vampire Diaries Online (courtesy of @mariana1987), a scan of Paul’s feature in TV Guide Magazine – and lots of choice quotes from Kevin Williamson about this week’s new episode, Haunted.
UPDATE: Thanks to Denise for a scan you can view full size in the gallery.
And Lisa, the activist behind the Paul Project Teddy Bear auction, passed along a sweet note to share with Vampire Diaries fans, and she’s offering one last hurrah donation opportunity (we’ve bolded it).
After the incredibly enthusiastic response from the Vampire Diaries fans about my breast cancer auction, I’m grateful to have a chance to reach out and thank you! One of the things I always stress to people is even if they can’t give money, raising awareness about breast cancer and reminding people that it’s still a huge issue is also invaluable. And all the blog posts and tweets about my auction for the breast cancer bear signed by Paul Wesley certainly helped in that regard!
While getting the autographed items I auction off is challenging in and of itself, sometimes the even harder part is getting the word out to the people who will be interested in bidding. I’ve been trying to figure out how to best use Twitter for that and have to say that the network of Vampire Diaries fans there was great! I was so cool to see all the mentions and RTs throughout the course of the auction. :)
Did it (and you) make a difference? ABSOLUTELY!
Of my 36 auctions this month, Paul Wesley’s had, so far, the greatest number of views on its page and the highest bids! In the end, the bear went for $227.50!! And once I take out the Paypal and eBay fees, that money will go directly to The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and help fund research and access to care for people with breast cancer. (In fact, I was so excited about the response from TVD fans, that I’m going to try to contact someone at the show and see if I can get either bears signed by other cast members or a pink boxing glove signed by all of them. You’ll definitely hear from me if I’m successful!!)
Breast cancer is an issue that is near and dear to me, so I’m always looking for new ways to raise money. I only have the one autographed bear, but I am able to print more copies of the ADORABLE picture… and I’d like to give you the opportunity to support the cause with a smaller donation. So what do you think…?
If you make a donation directly on my Avon Walk donation page by the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (this Saturday!), I’ll send you a photo as a thank you! And, as you may or may not have read in the earlier post, I also have a picture of Ian Somerhalder from when he participated in 2006! So, make a donation of $20 or more and I’ll send you a 4×6 print of your choice of either of the guys’ photos as a thank you! Make a donation of $30 or more and I’ll send you both! All you have to do is make a donation on my page and then when you get the email confirmation from Avon, forward it to lisa@lisawalks.com along with your address and which picture you want. :)
Thank you again for your amazing support!
