(With thanks to the mods for permission to advertise this here!)
What: A chat-a-thon, 24 hours of chatting to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina
Who: You! And anyone else you'd like to invite to join us!
Where: http://www.jlauniverse.com (http://www.jlauniverse.com/) in the chat room (one will be set up for this purpose). In event of sudden site overload, the chat will be moved to AIM (send a message to MTGAT to be invited to the backup chatroom)
When: This Saturday, September 10, starting at 9am EDT (your time zone may vary) and going until Sunday, September 11 at 9am EDT.
Details: This is a fund-raising event, designed to be fun and also work towards a good cause. Everyone who participates will be asked to donate a minimum of one dollar per hour they intend to chat. Those of us in it for the Long Chat will put up a minimum of $24. Those who can only join us for two hours contribute $2, and so on. Get sponsors: go to your parents, teachers, friends and neighbors, and ask them to pledge a dollar (or even a quarter) for every hour you chat.
Where's the Money Going: All proceeds are going to the American Red Cross (http://www.redcross.org/). 4LuvOfBat is setting up a donation button on the site. You and your sponsors may also feel free to send them a check instead of donating online. All donations are being sent on the honor system, which is to say we're not going to check up on you to make sure you donated. (For those who want to and are comfortable doing so, feel free to forward along your Red Cross receipt to 4luv when you're done. No personal information will be collected from you.) To clarify, we're not collecting the money. You and your sponsors are donating it directly via the link on the front page of this site or the button in the chatroom the day of the chat-a-thon OR you and your sponsors can mail your check(s) directly to the Red Cross. (Please see their website (http://redcross.org/) for more information.)
What's in It for Me?: The proud feeling of having done something good for someone else in need. Also, we're getting together a few "prizes" for the people who bring in the most donations. Please see the thread at JLA Universe (http://www.jlauniverse.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=5232) for prize descriptions (updated as new offers roll in).
What're We Doing for Twenty Four Hours?: We're running a marathon of Justice League episodes, starting with "Secret Origins" and working our way up to "Starcrossed" (which will go over the 24 hour mark but might be a fun Dead Dog Party). Also, we'll have trivia and a few games. Bring your own pizza and sodas and also your own copies of the episodes. :)
