Starlight Foundation reacts to generosity of Clayfans

"I am completely amazed at the fund raising done by Clay Aiken Fans. We never expected you to be able to fund a 2nd fun center this fast. Donating 2 units in this short period of time is just amazing. Please convey my personal appreciation for all they are doing to help provide these units to the hospitals. Clay certainly has some wonderful fans. I have never seen anything like this. "

He asked how many were members of the internet community of Clay fans. I explained that this board alone had over 10,000 members. He was truly surprised. I also told him about all the fundraising activities others do to raise funds for The Bublel/Aiken Foundation. I told him about the "Ticket Project', "Penny Lane" among others that the fans are involved in and that fans donated to both The Starlight Fun Center Project as well as OCS at the same time they were donating to Bubel/Aiken fundraisers. He was quite surprised that the Fun Center Project was not the ONLY project the fans were donating to which impressed him even more that we were able to donate another fun center this quickly. I informed him about the Operation Christmas Spirit project and that they would also be recipients from this project also. He was so impressed with all the different projects that Clay's fans are involved in.

He informed me that the 1st unit has now been shipped to Batson Hospital. I explained we all were quite anxious to find out when the first unit will be presented. He stated that it will be very very soon and that he will give us a 2 week notice as to exactly when the unit will be presented. He has also promised pictures of it. He has promised that he will provide complete details to us regarding the date, and who will be in attendance for the presentation. We WILL have pictures. I know all of you are looking forward to actually seeing the results of your generous donations and what better way than to provide you pictures of the unit WE donated in actual use at a child's bedside.

The Team promises to keep you updated regarding presentation of the 1st unit as soon as we receive the information. As you can see, the foundation paperwork does take some time so information regarding the 2nd unit will not be available immediately. I do promise to post as soon as Clay has chosen a hospital for the 2nd unit. Congratulations to all of you for your wonderful support. Now, on to Fun Center #3!!
