Members of the Rick Springfield, General Hospital,
"Scrubs"
(Patrick Drake and Robin
Scorpio) communities, www.jasonthompson.org
and Rick Springfield Forever (RS4)
Yahoo Group are combining
efforts to help honor and
celebrate the legendary Rick Springfield's 60th
birthday (which is really age
30...x 2!) on August 23, 2009 in a way
that is both a real gift to
him and gives back to others!
Rick most recently appeared on
ABC's "
as both the dashing Dr. Noah
Drake and rocker extraordinaire Eli Love.
He will also be appearing in a
few episodes in late September 2009
of Showtime's acclaimed
series, “Californication”.
DONATION CAMPAIGN INFORMATION
Rick has directly asked us
that in lieu of gifts, we make donations for this milestone
birthday to Linda Blair's
Worldheart Foundation (LBWH) instead.
If you are a registered member
of the RS.com message board,
click HERE to read the post where Rick asks us to help!
EVERYONE who donates in this
campaign will be entered into randomly-selected
prize drawings, including an
exciting Grand Prize package, at the end of the campaign!
There will also most likely be
other random prize package drawings for
all those who donate
intermittently throughout the 60-day campaign!
The process of compiling the
list of prizes is ongoing throughout the campaign,
so stay tuned here for what
YOU can win just by giving!
Thanks SO much to all our
generous prize donors!
(A list of some of the prizes we will have are shown in
are shown in the table

If you wish to donate to Linda
Blair's Worldheart Foundation, be
tracked as part of the
donation campaign, and be part of the

the campaign, please make your
personal check or money order
payable to
"THE LINDA BLAIR WORLDHEART FOUNDATION",
and mail it to Allycen (Ally)
Farnsworth. Contact Ally at Cockka2s@aol.com
privately via email for her
home mailing address.
Rosie Malthaner will collect
donations via PayPal,
if you prefer to donate via
that method.
Rosie's PayPal address is rmm618@verizon.net.
Be sure to indicate "RICK'S BIRTHDAY
2009" in the subject
line of your PayPal
transaction. Do NOT use the
words
"donation" or
"raffle" in your PayPal transaction!
Note: Due to PayPal fees, we strongly encourage people to
donate via check or money
order whenever possible. Also, remember that donations
made via check, money order,
or directly at the LBWF site, are 100% tax deductible!
DONATION TRACKING INFORMATION
Everyone that donates to LBWF
will be tracked in an Excel database, and then
the combined amount will be
sent as one donation from the RS and related
communities, with names of the
donors, to Linda Blair at LBWF
not long after the campaign
ends and all Paypal funds have cleared.
Of course, anyone can donate
directly at ANY time, and we highly
encourage that method as well.
Giving is what matters--not the way it is given.
It is definitely okay if you
want to be known as "anonymous" with your donation.
Just be sure to let us know if
that is your personal preference.
