[ElephantProject]

Hi Everyone,

This summer, I started a small charity project that is turning into something big. It is called the Elephant Project and is to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. My grandfather passed away seven months ago from Alzheimer's so I decided I wanted to do something to give back in his honor. Alzheimer's disease is a form of dementia, which causes its victims 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.

Each auction package comes with the picture of the celebrity and the elephant, the signed card from the celebrity, and an elephant beanie baby. There will be at least four auctions each night starting on Wednesday and I will add more for the next few days. Not every auction will occur this week. All auctions will be seven day listings. All auctions will begin at $20.

KRISTIN CHENOWETH, Jenna Leigh Green, Ana Gasteyer, and Derrick Williams all participated in the Elephant Project. Kristin and Jenna's auctions are on eBay right now and Ana's package already sold. Derrick's package will be auctioned off at a later date. Here is Jenna's picture and auction link.

^Ditto.

Its a wonderful idea, though. How did you get all of these people to sign it though? I'm very happy people in the world are doing such nice things to fight something terrible like Alzhiemers.
