Chriss Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 A few weeks ago, one of my friends from the LJ Community, Jason (aka mr_raccoon), wrote me a note and said that he had a really great idea but that he needed some help putting it into action. He suggested that instead of collecting Christmas gifts for Paramore, we should collect donations from fans and give them to a charity in Paramore's name. A few week's later, we're very happy to present the 2011 Fans of Paramore Holiday Drive! If you’re like us, you’ve spent the past few Christmases sending gifts through Paramore’s fan club or record label to give back to a band that has given us more than we could ever ask for. This year, we would like to give back in a different way by donating to a Christmas charity in Paramore’s honor. In lieu of Christmas gifts to the band, we are asking for fans to make donations via a PayPal account that we have set up. Any amount is greatly appreciated because every single cent that we collect between now and December 18th, 2011, will be donated to the Nashville chapter of Toys For Tots - an organization which collects and distributes toys to needy children during the holiday season - in the name of the entire Paramore fan community. On top of that, we will be sending a Christmas card to Paramore with details of our donation, including a world map noting where all the contributions came from. Please join us in making the holidays brighter for children in need, in honor of a band we all love, and have a happy and safe holiday season! We really hope that we can get a lot of donations and have something really cool to "give" the band for Christmas. If you'd like to make a donation (and we really hope you do), you can do so on the page we've set up: http://paramorefans.com/holidaydrive/ If you run another Paramore fansite/Tumblr/Twitter, please feel free to post about the Holiday Drive on your site and share the link. This isn't just a ParamoreFans.com project. We're trying to get as many fansites and communities involved as we can so that this can be a worldwide fan gift to Paramore, so please spread the word!
