We would like to wish Michael Trevino a very happy birthday today! Hope you get lots of pressies, and spend time with the people you love! Have an awesome day!
Also, check out this cool fan video created by AndreaTVD, a tribute and fan appreciation video for Michael!
As we mentioned before, Natalie over at Blood Falls is collecting donations with approval from Ian Somerhalder and St. Tammany Humane Society as a gift to Ian for his birthday. The project is winding down (deadline for donations & message submissions November 8th), and the success of the project has been staggering. She is very close to reaching her goal of $3,000, so I decided to make one last post to see if there is anyone out there who have not had a chance to donate. Please head on over to Blood Falls and send in your donation! You also have an opportunity to send in a personal birthday message to Ian as well!
Remember the birthday project from Natalie at Blood Falls and Nicki at Ian Somerhalder Network? Natalie has asked us to update you guys on the progress, I’m going let her do that in this letter to the fans (VERY IMPORTANT INFO SO PLEASE READ):
Dear Ian & Vampire Diaries Fans;
The Ian Somerhalder Birthday Project has been a tremendous success and we are now winding down into our final stages of the project. There is some extremely important information contained in this post and I urge all visitors and supporting sites of the project to read.
The first item I want to address is the personally autographed photo of Ian program. At Ian’s request, this “promotion” is winding down and the Shelter has requested that all names & addresses of those who donated $50 or more be sent to them by Monday.
With that said, any donations of $50 or more sent in AFTER 6pm Eastern Standard time on Sunday, October 17th will not qualify for the personally autographed photo. I need to finalize my list and send the email to the shelter. There’s 20+ (probably very close to 30 at this point) names to compile so please be understanding in this.
Ian sends his thanks and appreciation for the support of St Tammany Humane Society.
Now with that said, we are still taking donations as part of the project. The new deadline is November 8th for birthday messages and donations! Remember, we are trying to raise as much money as possible so that we blow Ian away when he gets his final birthday package.
We are just about to top $2000 in this fundraising initiative and I want to see if we can make it to an even $3000.
Now keeping with our theme of Ian himself, I have 2 sets of 2 tickets to give away for Ian’s “Unleashed, Bash On The Bayou” for everyone who donates by October 20th. The draw will be October 21st and everyone who donated qualifies for this contest.
I know that not everyone can donate, and this is why the Birthday Book messages is very important. Considering we average anywhere between 1000 and 3000 hits daily, I would have expected more than 350 birthday messages. So please get your messages in as quickly as possible and please keep them short. The contact form is here and remember to put in the subject line that it is Ian’s birthday greeting.
Head on over to Blood Falls for more details and tips!
