UPDATE: A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated in the past two weeks. We're happy to announce that we have collected a total of $321.66 from fans all around the world, all of which will be donated to Toys For Tots this week!!

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!

The Holiday Drive is a group effort by Paramore fans all over the world. None of us represent Paramore as a band, just as a fan community that strives to bring some holiday cheer to those in need. This is a non-profit cause.
