Things have been quiet on the Fandom Rocks front as we wound down Campaign Four and began preparing for Campaign Five. Today, I am happy to announce the charities you selected for Campaign Five.

The top charity, with 57% of your votes, was the American Cancer Society. Given the recent passing of Kim Manners and undoubtedly the personal connection cancer prevention and treatment has for many people, Fandom Rocks is proud to support this organization with our fellow fans.

“With chartered divisions throughout the country and over 3,400 local offices, the American Cancer Society (ACS) is committed to fighting cancer through balanced programs of research, education, patient service, advocacy, and rehabilitation.”

The second charity was the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

“The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is the leading national not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research, education and advocacy, and to reaching out to people with mental disorders and those impacted by suicide.”

While the charities for this campaign seem to differ greatly from previous campaigns, I believe they are both strong proponents for improving human life and addressing relevant health issues. Through these choices, our fellow fans demonstrate that Fandom Rocks is willing and able to acknowledge and tackle challenging problems with personal connections.

Share the news!

It’s a great day for fans of Supernatural! Reports are popping up that Supernatural is among six shows the CW has renewed for next season. Here’s to another year with the Winchesters!

The poll for the next campaign charities is now live on the web site. Please review the organizations, click links to learn more, and then vote on the one you would like to support. If you do not see a charity you want to support, nominate them! Make sure you research them first, of course. We only ask that they be 501(c)3 organizations or the equivalent for an international charity.

Last Week for Campaign Four!

We are down to the last few days of Campaign Four. Barring some miraculous stimulus package for fan-based organizations, it doesn’t look like we will reach our goal. However, we can still reach the goal of matching previous campaign amounts! Can you help us get there?

Conventions!

Will you be attending the Cherry Hill convention? Are you interested in representing Fandom Rocks while you are there? Drop us a line!

What about the LA Convention? Brande and Lis will be there, so be sure to drop by to say hello!

Hang in there until March 12th – new episodes will be back!

Guess what? This weekend we have two holidays – Friday the 13th and Valentine’s Day. (Yes, I am counting Friday the 13th as a holiday.)

We have just over two weeks left in this campaign, and we still have a LONG way to go.

Would you consider …
Donating $13 in honor of Friday the 13th?
Donating $14 to charity instead of the card/candy industry for Valentine’s Day?

(I hope so!)

After all, Jared and Jensen are in movies about both holidays! (If you are willing to take that leap with me, that is.) Why not help out charities this weekend and help our campaign reach our goal?
