 "Here's
the picture of when we presented the money to Kyle
Petty, the founder of the Victory Junction Gang Camp
at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I sent out 1800
letters to different celebrities. We ended up
with 219 items and were very successful. We only
had about 100 people at our auction but ended up
raising over $6,400.00 -- $1,400.00 dollars over my
goal. It was GREAT! Thanks again for this great
resource and website. Without it, this never would
have been possible."

"Project Rags to Riches philanthropy project received two personally autographed jeans from Oprah Winfrey; an autographed shirt from Whoopi Goldberg; and autographed photo from Paris Hilton and more. This is just the beginning. Our team is truly grateful to Jordan and his team at Contact Any Celebrity for the resources, website information and networking opportunities you provide."

"I used your Contact Any Celebrity list
to get autographs to raise money for the March of Dimes.
I was thrilled with the results -- we received many,
many photos, a magic set from Lance Burton, goodies from
Elizabeth Taylor, the list went on and on. Of the
letters I sent (approximately 150), we received items
from nearly everyone. We had very few returns
"undeliverable." I used most of the items for a silent
auction and a few for a live auction. In all, we raised
enough money for the March of Dimes to be second highest
fundraiser that year. Couldn't have done it without your
help! Thank you!"
- Judy Habel, March of Dimes,
McKinney, TX
"Contact Any Celebrity was so much more
than I expected. It's more than just a listing of who
and what. In other words, it's not like just a "star
map." I felt that the contact information was valid and
up-to-date, and there's so much information in the
database. Everyone I looked for was there. There were
also so few returned letters from everyday household
names. To get things we can place value on and auction
off for a great cause is wonderful. It was great to
actually get responses from stars. The service is
priceless."
- Heather Thompson, Susan G.
Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, Tampa, FL
"We are the Celebrity Autograph Auction
benefiting St. Jude Children's Hospital. We've been
conducting auctions on eBay for over three years now and
have had tremendous success with them. To date we have
raised $60,000 for the hospital and plan on doubling
that within the next two years."
- Frank Martin, St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN
"I am the National Business Manager for A
Special Wish Foundation. I use your listings at Contact
Any Celebrity daily to get in contact with celebrities.
If those celebrities can't meet our children I always
ask for an autographed picture of some sort for our wish
children. It works every time. So whether you know it or
not you contribute to the granting of wishes indirectly.
Thank you so much for your listings. The cost is
definitely worth it in the long run."
- Darryl Celler, National
Business Manager, A Special Wish Foundation, Tarzana, CA
"I want to thank you so much for the
wonderful leads you have provided. I have been working
at attaining celebrity autographs for a fundraiser we
are having in April. The response has been just
outstanding. Here is a list of some of the autographs we
have received: Clint Black, Gregg Allman, Paul Anka,
Garth Brooks, Joanna Cotton, Jack Pearson, Janis Ian,
Trisha Yearwood, Eric Clapton, Patty Loveless, Faith
Hill, Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Patti
LaBelle, Johnny Neel, Sylvester Stallone and countless
others. You are what made this all possible. Contact Any
Celebrity is the best."
- Mike Mattera, Eckerd CMN
Fundraiser, Rio Grande, NJ
"Two years ago, I signed up for your
Contact Any Celebrity service to get celebrity contact
information. Your service worked perfectly and I got the
information I needed in minutes. The accuracy of your
service is "right on the money!" I like your service and
will stick with it for a long time."
- Sharon Mills, Marketing & Communication Dept., The
Salvation Army, Los Angeles, CA
"I could not do what I do without
researching your Contact Any Celebrity database for
addresses. I am the donations coordinator for the
Bakersfield's AIDS Project. I got the idea to have a
celebrity auction and raise money. I have been writing
to celebs and asking them to sign an autograph card and
return it in the SASE and forward a picture. I have
gotten a great response and am having our 2nd annual
celebrity auction in October. I am having things framed
as I type. Thank you so much. I could not have done it
without you!!!"
- Andrew Beasley, Bakersfield's
AIDS Project, Bakersfield, CA

- Clint Borgen, The Borgen Project, Seattle, WA
"I use Contact Any Celebrity frequently
to contact spokespersons and am really pleased that your
info is up to date and thorough. I've used similar
services before and the information was very seldom
accurate."
- Kathleen Boylan, Chicago, IL
"During the few months that our
non-profit organization has been a member of Contact Any
Celebrity, it has proven very helpful in finding contact
information for several celebrities that we are
interested in asking for participation from."
- Bridget Campbell, The Chicago
Lighthouse for People Who Are Blind or Visually
Impaired, Chicago, IL
"I just had to drop you an email to let
you know what we got today. First, we got a lithograph
picture of a bird in a tree, numbered 355 of 400 from
The Duchess of York, "Fergie." This is autographed. We
also got an Anton Breton souvenir fiddle autographed by
Charlie Daniels with a certificate of authenticity and a
B&W picture that is also signed. We were so excited!!!!
That is the best thing we have gotten so far and feel
that will bring a lot of money. I sent out 1800 letters
to different celebrities, musicians, businesses and
NASCAR drivers. We ended up with 219 items and were very
successful. We ended up raising over $6400, $1400.00
dollars over my goal. It was GREAT!"
- Diane Carter, Logansport, IN

great help to our organization in contacting celebrities
for our current fundraiser."

Contact Any Celebrity. Global Projects International, Day Of The Child World Concert and Beyond Borders iTV LLC has prospered from our use of your service. We have aligned ourselves with managers, agents, publicists and other notable contacts in the business because of Contact Any Celebrity. We hope to increase our usage of your wonderful services. This site is
absolutely wonderful and is essential to the success of
any charity event."
- Rob Cipriano, Global Projects
International, New York, NY
"Contact Any Celebrity and the Celebrity
Black Book have saved me so much time. I have purchased
your book and used your service for the past 3 1/2
years. With the help of your addresses, we have raised
thousands of dollars for the American Cancer Society for
research. I have used other sources and have found that
the contacts you provide are usually more current. Keep
up the good work and thanks so much for helping in the
fight against cancer!"

"As a teenager I volunteered weekly for
three years (1969-1972) in the amputee ward of Valley
Forge General Hospital during the Vietnam War. In 2001 I
decided to track down as many of these heroes of mine as
possible. In a span of two years I located 123 of the
vets, 17 of whom have since passed away. At their
request I set about organizing a three day reunion for
them that took place in July 2003.
I stumbled upon your Contact Any
Celebrity web site and I decided to address letters to
as many celebrities as possible, asking them to write
letters of thanks to Vietnam vets. I wrote to 322
celebrities, including governors and military people.
Unfortunately, I only thought of the idea six weeks
before the reunion so I didn't give the well-known
Americans much time to respond. However, I did receive
over thirty letters, including Pres. Bush, Bill Clinton,
Sen. McCain, Gen. Schwarzkopf, many governors and
wonderful, kind celebrities from that era. They also
received a blessing from the Pope! Thanks to your
addresses I was able to hear from some directors (Garry
Marshall), producers (Aaron Spelling), actors (Robin
Williams), TV personalities (Dick Clark, Ruth Buzzie,
Joanne Worley, Andy Williams, Pat Boone...who also sent
sheet music and a song he wrote about the war, Annette
Funicello's husband...who also sent 50 pictures of
Annette for the men, Connie Stevens...who sent 120
bottles of her cologne for the vets).
Donald Trump sent one of the most moving
letters. Michael Jordan's letter brought tears to the
men who loved basketball so much that they had formed
their own wheelchair basketball team while at the
hospital. Roman Gabriel sent a poem that he had written.
The best letter was from Tom Lasorda. It was two pages
long and he poured his heart out to the men. Many sent a
photo with no letter (Neil Diamond, Cheryl Tiegs,
Ann-Margaret, Jennifer Lopez.) Others had their
secretaries inform me they had been out of town and
didn't receive my letter until after the event or they
would have written a letter (Walter Cronkite, Winton
Marsalis and Shirley McClain).
It was fun endeavor and I appreciate your
company having addresses available for the general
public to use. The letters were appreciated by the 90
people who attended the reunion and the soldiers who
received them in the mail who were unable to attend."
- Diane Di Ferdinando, Berwyn,
PA
"I did a charity fundraiser for an
Italian organization last year and used your Celebrity
Black Book for the contact information. We had t-shirts
made up with our logo on them along with the Italian
flag. We sent the celebrities these t-shirts along with
a letter explaining the fundraiser/auction with the
non-profit number and asked them to sign the shirt and
send it back to us in the self-addressed stamped
envelope. We sent out 75 packages and received 20
t-shirts back signed and some included autographed
pictures and or letters of encouragement. The fun we had
auctioning off the ones that came back made for a nice
night."
- Therese Diecidue, Boston, MA

want to thank you for allowing the Fund to use your
Contact Any Celebrity database. I am amazed at the data
you have collected on top people around the world."
- Dr. Samuel C. Evans, Advisor
to the Board, Africa AIDS Fund
"First of all I would like to start out
by thanking your company. Your Contact Any Celebrity
database source is great and because of it I received
really nice items from many celebrities for an auction
we are having at our school in March. I would highly
recommend your web site to everyone who is looking to
contact a celebrity."
- Dawn Engler, Margate, FL
"We truly enjoy your Contact Any
Celebrity website. We have sent out over 500 letters and
so far, only 12 have been returned. Keep up the great
work!"
- Catherine Fletcher, Director
of Development, Ozark Food Bank, Bethel Heights, AR
"I have to admit I was a little skeptical
at first, right, this is going to give me access to
celebrities. I figured at this point I was desperate
with nothing to lose. I am planning a fundraising
benefit for a child that is suffering from Leukemia and
Hypo-eosinophilia. She is in need of a bone-marrow
transplant within the next three months. I joined
Contact Any Celebrity on Friday evening, spent 12 hours
on Saturday emailing, faxing and addressing letters.
When I got to work on Monday morning, I had a voice mail
waiting for me from Madonna's manager. She stated that
she wanted to reach out to my cause, and Madonna was
sending me 2 autographed items that could be used for
our silent auction. The next day I received autographed
items from Jeff Burton and an autobiography from Joe
Gibbs. As for Madonna, I received her items today. To
you, I send a huge thank you."
- Donna Gammon, Mechanicsville,
VA
"I am involved with our school's major
fundraiser and discovered your Contact Any Celebrity
site last year which saved me a great deal of time. I
found it extremely time-saving and rewarding. I look
forward to the same results this year."
- Patti Gottsacker, Cedarburg,
WI
"Thank you for all the work you guys put
into this Contact Any Celebrity service. It is
absolutely invaluable to those of us in the fundraising
world. I won't even look at another address service
because you guys are just outstanding. Our fundraiser
was a great success, even in the face of inclement
weather. We will do a second mailing and still plan to
do our celebrity auction later in the year. Thanks for
your wonderful service!"
- Felicia Harried, Port Gibson,
MS
"I use your Contact Any Celebrity service
to contact celebrities for a charity event that is held
every year in October. I love it, and it saves me a lot
of time. You guys are the best."
- Jennifer Hartman, Hattie
Larlham, Mantua, OH
"I decided to give your Contact Any
Celebrity website a try for a charity auction we are
having for a Montessori School in our area. I sent the
first batch of letters out on Feb 22. Imagine my delight
when a large box with more than $180 worth of
merchandise arrived today. Even if we receive no other
donations, the membership fee and the money we spent on
postage has been recovered with this one response. I
have to admit that I was a little skeptical but thought
it was worth a try. All I can say is thank you very
much."
- Quan Hoang, St. Paul, MN
"Earlier this year we subscribed to your
Contact Any Celebrity service. We were very pleased with
your extensive listings of addresses. We sent letters to
many celebrities, requesting donations for our Auction
for the Community."
- Carol Hook, United Way of

"Thank you so much for your great
addresses from Contact Any Celebrity. I hope they do as
great as they did last year. I am having our 2nd annual
auction for the American Cancer Society in October with
the pictures I got from all my favorite celebrities. I
received over $800.00 for last year."
- Kelly Hullihen, Robertsdale,
AL
"I loved using your celebrity database. We received many autographed photos for our school auction -- Great results!"
- Mary Iwanicki, Chicago, IL
"All of my addresses are from your
Contact Any Celebrity source. I tried other sources at
first but you guys are the only ones that keep most
current on your addresses, so it saves me time and
money. I work for Animal Services and each year we have
a Four Footed Fun Fair and I am in charge of the
Celebrity Silent Auction. I send about 600 or more
letters to celebrities and famous people and a lot of
them respond to help the animals. I get a lot of signed
pictures and items (250+) each year. The auction draws a
lot of people to our event and any money raised is bused
by helping spay and neuter pets. Thanks for the personal
touch. It is always nice to contact real people. I just
got a great lithograph signed by Carlos Santana,
whoopee! I love this job. It is like Christmas. Your
service is great. I have not had the need to go anywhere
else to get the results I need for all of my fundraising
events. I have another one coming up in October and I
know I can count on your service to get the job done."
- Judy Knapp, Animal Services,
Modesto, CA
"We have now finished our fund raising
for Adopt a School in Peru. It was successful in that we
raised nearly $6,000, not bad for a small rural
community. We received some wonderful responses
including some from celebrities not known for
autographing items. Out of over 600 envelopes sent out
these were the only ones returned to Contact Any
Celebrity for better addresses. Not bad."
- Nancy Kopf, Titusville, PA
"I signed up yesterday for your Contact
Any Celebrity service and spent a few hours gathering
addresses. I am also on IMDB Pro and it seems like you
guys are a little better at getting "the best"
addresses."
- Jenn Lindsay, Brooklyn, NY
"I wanted to say thank you for Contact
Any Celebrity because I had the great experience of
talking to Jeff Foxworthy's father who does Jeff's mail.
I am in the process of opening up a child care center
for disabled children in my area and he is going to send
me some autographed items to sell to raise money for the
proceeds of the child care center."
- Christine Marquardt
"Check this out! I wrote Greg Maddux
(Chicago Cubs) about signing some items for a benefit I
was having for my brother and I. We were in a car
accident and are having a raffle and silent auction. I
was sitting at the computer one night and got a call
from Greg. He said he would sign anything and everything
if I wanted to mail it to him. He signed 9 baseballs, 13
baseball cards, 6 Cubs hats, and a Cubs t-shirt. That
was definitely worth the $14 membership fee it cost me
to get his address. Thanks Contact Any Celebrity. It was
more than well worth it!"
- Michael Marshall, Sullivan,
IL
"I subscribed to your Contact Any
Celebrity service a few months ago to obtain addresses
for a mailing my wife and I did. Thank you for providing
us with this service."
- Mark & Ellen Mazzola, Alice
Mazzola Breast Cancer Benefit, Round Lake, IL
"I just love your Celebrity Black Book
and Contact Any Celebrity web site. I use the site for 2
charity fund raisers, and have made over $100,000 for
the charities. The charities are the Bay County Humane
Society in Panama City Beach Florida and the Marty Lyons
Foundation. The Marty Lyons Foundation is a "Grant a
Wish" foundation for sick children and their families.
Every April we have a celebrity golf tournament at
Jekyll Island Georgia and use the items that I am able
to collect for a live & silent auction. Items that we
have received are: Signed photo's from: Madonna, John
Travolta, Jimmy Carter, Jeff Foxworthy: Signed scripts
from Aaron Spelling and the cast from 7th Heaven, Signed
Script from Eddie Murphy (Dreamgirls) just to name a
few. I pay for all the letters, items and postage to
send out these requests, and I am very happy with the
results...All the proceeds go directly to the charities.
Some of the wishes that we have granted are: Disney
week, meet Adam Sandler, Go to ground Zero & New York,
Meet Garth Brooks, Super Bowl Tickets, NASCAR races."
- Tammy McCrary, Panama City
Beach, FL
"We contacted Her Majesty Queen Noor for
our charity using Contact Any Celebrity and she sent us
an autographed book and a lovely letter. So did Jackie
Chan!"
- Jennifer McDaniel, Parker, CO
"I subscribed to your Contact Any
Celebrity service about two weeks ago and sent letters
to various celebrities in search of a National
Spokesperson for Surgicorps International. They are a
group of plastic surgeons who go on missions to third
world countries to perform surgeries. Within 3 days of
writing, I received a phone call from Ellen DeGeneres'
office. I thought it was incredible that they responded
so quickly."
- Diane McGraw, Surgicorps
International, Media, PA
"Friends of Strays is a no kill animal
rescue/shelter. We do not receive any funding so we must
raise all of our +$90,000 expenses each year. We
recently held a dinner/auction and wanted some specialty
items. We subscribed to your Contact Any Celebrity
service and contacted many of the individuals that are
sympathetic to animal causes. I received a great
response and many wonderful items were donated which
generated funds for us. Without your service, I would
have spent so much time trying to track down these
celebrities with no guarantee that the address I
received was the correct one. Your site and service was
SO easy to use and yielded positive results. I most
definitely recommend it to anyone and will use it again
in the future when I need to contact the celebrities
again."
- Cheryl McLane, Friends of
Strays, Inc., Princeton, IL
"I have been using Contact Any Celebrity
quite a bit lately. We are having a celebrity auction
for our Rotary Club to raise funds for projects ranging
from scholarships to eradication of polio to wheelchairs
for people who need it but cannot afford them. The site
is great."
- Jane Mize, Ennis, TX
"We love your Contact Any Celebrity site
and your Celebrity Black Book and we're about to use
some of the addresses to do a mailing."
- Stephanie Mohr, Sr. Manager
U.S. Development, ORBIS International, New York NY
"We were pretty successful with our plan.
Our 6th grade class needed practice in writing letters,
and addresses envelopes. If we got back a
picture/autograph, or even one of their standard
portrait shots, we auctioned it off at our school's
silent auction. Someone must have really loved Hilary
Duff, because people bid higher for her than Tiger
Woods, Michael Jordan, and plenty of others. Dr. Phil
even sent us an autographed book, as well as a doodle.
You just never know what you'll get, and who will bid on
it. I have referred your Contact Any Celebrity website
to a handful of others who needed celebrity addresses.
It really was easy to look up the addresses."
- Lisa Nelson, Davis, CA
"I appreciate you and the Contact Any
Celebrity service you provide. We have benefited
greatly."
- Gretchen Neubauer, The
Salvation Army, Indianapolis, IN
"Last summer I started a blog to promote my school library. My sister recommended I join Contact Any Celebrity to get autographs and pictures to raffle at my blog. I decided to contact 10 celebrities that had an interest in education. I got a response from most and they sent an autographed photo. The biggest moment came one morning at my school when Jamie Lee Curtis called to say she would like to send a $500 check to support a reading literary project at my school. The phone call along made me a celebrity at my school. This special gift made for a very exciting reading program and a great school year."
- Elizabeth O'Brien, Astoria, NY
"You will no doubt be aware of the Bolton
Iron Maiden and the story and our re-union gig and
Charity Auction at the Soundhouse Boston. We have just
received for our auction fantastic Iron Maiden signed

Maiden concert -- in addition to signed items from

"We have used your Contact Any Celebrity
website for the last two years for our annual
fundraiser. This site has been great and the article
"Help From Hollywood" was very helpful. We raised
$25,000 last year, not all were celebrity items but the
special items from celebs made for an extraordinary
event."
- Patsy
"Just a bit of praise for you guys: We
have been members of Contact Any Celebrity for about a
year, and we have gotten some neat autographs during
that time. The show stopper was an autographed item
valued at $1,500! I got it today, along with a
certificate of authenticity from Upper Deck!
Unbelievable! Thanks so much for the work you do!"
- Amanda Pearson, Cal-Diego
Paralyzed Veterans Association, San Diego, CA
"I used the Contact Any Celebrity site
extensively for a silent and live auction I organized
for my son's school. I sent out almost 300 letters to
various celebrities following the instructions on the
website. I think only a handful were "bad" addresses. I
was astonished at the response. I received autographed
books (Henry Winkler), CDs (George Winston), and many
photos (Liz Taylor, Cindy Crawford, Dustin Hoffman,
etc., etc.). It was fun to go to the school mailbox
everyday. everyone would gather around and ask what I
got that day! We raised over $15,000 altogether and were
thrilled. I plan to use the site again for our next
event in the spring of '06."
- Carolyn Penharlow, Town and
Country School of Vienna, Vienna, VA

really appreciate it. We are fundraising for our horse

"I have been using CAC on and off for the past few years, and it's never steered me wrong! I work for a residential foster care agency, and we just celebrated our 160th anniversary with a huge community fair. A few months ago I started contacting celebrities using CAC, and four days after I sent out the invitations I got a call from Robin Williams people and it just snowballed from there. We received a ton of letters, e-mails and autographed pictures from celebrities and sports stars which thrilled the kids. Now we have a solid base of contacts for our fundraiser next year!"
- Janene Prokes, Poughkeepsie, NY
"Your Contact Any Celebrity business
helped me out in getting autographed memorabilia for a
benefit we did this past November and I give you great
ratings."
- Mike Raab, Burgaw, NC
"We used your Contact Any Celebrity
website to get addresses for celebrities that supported
the following causes: children, teens, foster care &
abuse prevention. We mailed 220 letters requesting
autographed memorabilia for our charity auction. We
received 17 signed photographs which raised $700.
Thanks!"
- Ellen Reed-Fox, Family
Resource Center, St. Louis, MO
Here's a partial list of the celebrity
items that we received after sending letters using the
Contact Any Celebrity database. We also used
information from your how- to guide from the website.
We found that if we had a person who was interested in
a specific area such as NASCAR write the letter and
include personal thoughts and comments we were more
successful. We raised about $35,000 from the auction
(not all our items were celebrity memorabilia) and
people were really interested in the celebrity
memorabilia. We are in a rural community of less than
5000 and in the largest low income area in the state of
Missouri, which means we picked many a pocket during our
event, and having celebrity memorabilia made for an
extra fun event."

"I work for a small, non-profit
organization in rural Washington. We offer support and
resources to cancer patients. One of our brain tumor
patients, Sandy, is losing her battle and only has a
short time left. A couple years ago, Sandy and her best
friend took a "Thelma & Louise" road trip and more than
anything, Sandy wanted to hear from Ms. Sarandon and/or
Ms. Davis. I sent emails and within a very short time,
Sandy received a very lovely letter from Susan Sarandon.
Our entire Brain Tumor Support Group, along with
Wellness Pace, is very appreciative of Ms. Sarandon's
gracious and timely response. Thank you Contact Any
Celebrity. We could not have done it without your help."
- Donna Rolen, Wenatchee, WA
"Thank you for your Contact Any Celebrity
service. Since signing up for access to your database I
have been very impressed with the results I've gotten.
We have mailed out 81 small boxes with Christmas
Ornaments in them to have them signed for an auction we
are doing in December. We included all they would need,
a pen, return postage, etc. MUCH to my surprise the
first one was returned in about seven days!! We now have
a total of 10 returns, with, hopefully, more to follow.
Publicists seem to be the best chance at getting a
return. We truly appreciate your great service."

our thanks for your Contact Any Celebrity database and

Cancer Society All Star Celebrity Dinner & Auction,
Douglasville, GA
In August of 1999 I wrote to about 350
celebrities and all 50 U.S. governors as well as a few
select U.S. senators using Contact Any Celebrity. I
explained that I had a niece named Anne who would be 15
at the end of January, 2000 and I wanted to give her a
special birthday gift: a book of autographed photos
and/or letters from successful people explaining their
idea of what success is.
As these photos and letters were
received, they were then forwarded to Anne's grandmother
and after elementary school, my sister (who is an
elementary teacher) and Anne would visit Grandma and
have a delightful "party" opening up each sealed
envelope. These Anne and her mother placed in plastic
protective sleeves in 2 large binders. Some of the
people who sent her photos were Lauren Bacall (Grandma
had to explain who she was!), Tommy Lee Jones (Anne's
most favorite star), Dick Van Dyke, Carroll Channing,
Carol Burnett, and many Christian singers (like Jackie
Valesaquez) as well as the Veggie Tales characters. When
Anne got Tommy Lee Jones' photo, she squealed like a
child and almost yelled into the phone to me "You got
Tommy Lee Jones' autograph!"). She was so delighted and
looked forward to visiting Grandma's house to see what
birthday pictures had arrived in the mail.
As Anne received these surprises, she
would then write a thank you note which she planned to
mail on her birthday (January 31). On January 14, 2000,
Anne and my sister were walking and running around her
school track when Anne collapsed. My sister Raynette and
a registered nurse whom they had just met on the track
ran over to her and performed CPR. Some kind people
stopped their cars and called 911 and paramedics arrived
there in a very short time.
Anne died of an undiagnosed congenital
heart defect and could not be revived. At the funeral
the two albums were passed around to the family and
visitors and were a great comfort to many of Anne's 14
year old friends who did not seem to understand such a
sudden death. During this time of selecting Anne's
favorite clothing for her to be buried in, selecting the
coffin and selecting the music, my sister mailed the
thank you notes Anne had previously written. She also
enclosed Anne's funeral notice.
Raynette (my sister) received several
notes of condolence from these celebrities and governors
and senators who were kind enough to realize our loss.
In particular, an assistant to George W. Bush and
Governor Bush of Florida called my sister to express
condolences. (Unknown to our family at the time, the
Bush family had a loss many years before when their
little sister died).
It is now 2006 and I am very grateful to
the many kindnesses of the people who cared enough to
respond. As I watch "old" movies on television, I am
still touched when I see Lauren Bacall or Tommy Lee
Jones."

"I am the founder and sponsor of the CAHS
Patriots. This is a group of student volunteers at the
Connellsville Area Senior High School who work to
promote patriotism and support our deployed
servicemen/women. We have used your Contact Any
Celebrity database and Celebrity Black Book for the last
two years to help us with our annual
Collectible/Celebrity auction. We have received
responses from a variety of people and have been able to
raise a total of $2,000 over the last two years."
- Linda Shearer, Connellsville,
PA
"We used Contact Any Celebrity to find
addresses for celebrities who would be willing to donate
an item for a children's charity. Living in a small
community in Michigan, we have very little access to big
name stars, and your website was a great tool for us! We
raised more than $9,000 for our students by utilizing
your database!"
- Kathy Simpson, VP Special
Events Fundraising, Anchor Bay Band Boosters
"I have been using your Celebrity Black
Book for the last two years and your Contact Any
Celebrity website a year before that. I have a 5 year
old son with multiple disabilities. Twice a year we take
him to Philadelphia for medical treatment. Because of
his illness we can't fly and so must drive the 1600
miles there and 1600 miles back. Each trip costs an
average of $12,000; so in order to go I need to
fundraise for as much of the expenses as possible. I
have held three ebay auctions and have been able to
fundraise about one tenth of expenses for each trip.
Sony Entertainment was very nice. They donated movie
posters and DVDs. They also sent some items specifically
for my son Edward. George Steinbrenner sent a Yankees
hat and shirt. Within Texas The Astros sent an
autographed ball, The Rockets donated an autographed
poster; The Aeros donated tickets, and The Dynamos
donated tickets and autographed items. Some of the
coolest items donated by individuals are as follows:
-
Evander Holyfield donated a print of his
picture "The Corner" Limited Edition and autographed
with his thumbprint.
-
Harmon Killebrew donated the cutest
little baseball glove, signed also with a ball. (Frankly, I hated to sell the glove because it would
have fit my son perfectly. But I always want to be
honorable with my fundraising and all items go to my
son's medical bills).
-
William Christopher sent an autographed
book, about his experiences raising his autistic son. It
shows you what a small world this is, because he had
also taken his son to the Institutes as well.
-
Dreamworks sent several DVD's and
promotional items
-
Wheel of Fortune sent several autographed
items, VIP tickets to the show, and some promotional
show items.
-
Bill Amend sent a signed comic strip.
-
Several comic strip artists sent
autographed originals.
-
Individually, we have received many
signed photos of various TV and movie stars.
-
We have received several signed scripts
with pictures. From Alias, Nobody's Perfect, Malcolm in
the Middle and Mash.
-
There have been many autographed CD's and
photos from music stars.
-
We have received autographed golf balls,
gloves, programs and score cards from a variety of
sports figures.
-
The illustrator for Harry Potter sent a
small sketch of Harry Potter signed.
-
Heather Tom's Publicist Tom De La Rosa
has contacted me and said he would be sending a donation
of items.
-
The Hilton company sent several
promotional items. Such as leather luggage tags, leather
business card holder and some other items.
-
A signed hockey puck from the Olympics,
from one of the team members from the team.
-
Two autographed die cast cars from NASCAR
racers. As well as several autographed table displays.
-
Kathy Najimy sent two autographed shirts
and two autographed pictures.
-
The Young and the Restless sent an
anniversary keychain, cast picture, and pen.
There were many more neat items, unfortunately with my
son's program/medical needs I only have time to do his
fundraising after he goes to sleep around midnight. At
this time I am going by memory. Your website and book
have been an invaluable help to our fundraising efforts.
I prefer to use the book so I can highlight through when
I send a letter. The nice thing about the fundraising is
not only the items we get for the auction, but we have
received the sweetest, supportive letters from people
who are strangers. I find it touching when we get a
donation, but some of the letters truly warm my heart,
and help keep me going. It shows that there are
wonderful giving people out there who care about the
well being of my son."

"Contact Any Celebrity is helping our
Project Graduation efforts. Thank you."

"As National Chair of an organization
that raises funds to provide post high school educations
to all the children of every fallen Special Operations
soldier, sailor, airman, or marine, reaching out to
celebrities for their help is an important part of my
job. Contact Any Celebrity (with the length and breadth
of its database) has eased that burden immensely! In
part, thanks to Contact Any Celebrity, we have received
help and contributions from many television, movie, and
Broadway stars, as well as many others. Giving us the
ability to select a contact from multiple possibilities
for each celebrity is a real benefit and has made a
tremendous difference in our ability to help these
children."

"First and foremost, thank you for
helping the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in its quest for
a cure. As you may already know, cystic fibrosis (CF) is
the most common fatal genetic disease in the United
States today, affecting more than 30,000 children and
young adults. Thanks to your extensive list of celebrity
addresses, we were able to raise more than $13,000 for
CF research!
We mailed to approximately 1,000 names on
your Contact Any Celebrity list and received replies
from nearly 200 actors, actresses, athletes and
musicians. Some of the more unique items we received are
as follows:
-
Ally McBeal cast-signed script with a
note from Calista Flockhart
-
The Simpsons script signed by all the
voices with a Matt Groening sketch
-
Michael Chang's match-used autographed
tennis shirt
-
Sean Connery signed Goldfinger replica
movie poster
-
Randy Travis autographed guitar
-
Shania Twain autographed photo
In addition to the many unique items we
were sent, we also received personal calls from Lisa
Marie, Kyle Chandler, Fred Berry and more. One week
after the mailing was sent, we were averaging at least 3
autographed photos a day! Because of the success of this
mailing, we conducted a week-long radio auction on the
nationally syndicated Steve & DC morning show (which is
where we raised over $13,000).
Thank you for your very accurate and
useful service. I will be purchasing your list for the
Foundation every year. I will be sure to keep you up to
date on the status of future mailings. Keep up the good
work!"

Fibrosis Foundation, St. Louis, MO
"First of all I want to thank you. I am a
member of Kiwanis Club of Sesser located in Sesser, IL.
It is a small community of about 2500 people and it is a
close community where everyone knows everyone else. We
have an 8 year old girl in our community that has
Chronic Hereditary Pancreatitis. This is a painful and
life-threatening disease that she has lived with since
she was 1 1/2 years old. Our club started working on a
Celebrity/Sports Auction so that we could raise money to
help her family with the medical expenses. Getting the
addresses we needed was tough at first until we found
out about your Contact Any Celebrity service. We now
have over 200 autographed items and are receiving more
in every day.
A few of the celebrities that we wrote to
even included a personal autograph to the little girl
herself which has just thrilled her to no end.
Especially the photo she got from John Travolta. It's
just a kick going to the mail box each day and finding
out what we have. Once again I want to thank you.
Without your service I know our even would not be the
success that I know it is going to be."
- Kaye Styve, Kiwanis
International, Sesser, IL
"My wife and I have founded the RT Autism
Awareness Foundation, Inc. in Rochester, MN. Your site
has helped us seek out some autographs etc. from
celebrities who's "cause" is autism as well as many
others. I appreciate your work. I only pay for your
Contact Any Celebrity service and on one else's...if
it's not broke-don't fix it right! I'm on this site more
as we are getting our silent auction items for our July
golf benefit. I guess for our cause-the more celebrities
that we know whose cause is "autism" the better. But I'm
sure you guys work on that stuff daily."
- Brad Trahan, Founder, RT
Autism Awareness Foundation, Inc., Rochester, MN
"Our school raised over $2,000 by holding
a celebrity autograph auction of signed memorabilia.
This was only possible by writing and emailing contacts
contacting via Contact Any Celebrity. Without the use of
the website we wouldn't be able to report such a
successful evening. Contact Any Celebrity made it so
much easier -- with a database of contacts your
fingertips and very easy to use. We reused some of the
contacts the following year and still had a great
response and made even more money."

"I have recently taken part in a fund
raising event for patients with bowel cancer at Wexham
Park Hospital in Slough. I wanted to raise money for a
family room for people affected by the disease. There
are 35,000 adults diagnosed each year in England and
Wales. That is someone every 15 minutes. I wrote to the
managers of Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool
football clubs, Rolf Harris and Al Fayed to name but a
few using Contact Any Celebrity. They all donated
wonderful prizes that I auctioned at the event on 10th
June at a Gala night. So far I have managed to raise
$18,000 in an attempt to provide patients and their
families with the information and support they need when
diagnosed with cancer."

"I am the president of the Van Houten
Foundation, Inc. The foundation is a non-profit charity
(IRS 501C3) that is attempting to establish a battered
women and children's shelter in Middlesex County, New
Jersey. We will be conducting a sports/celebrity auction
on December 10th. I purchased the Celebrity Black Book
to assist in sending request letters to the various
sports/entertainment celebrities. I was very impressed
with the quality of the publication. Thank you for your
help and keep up the good work!"
- Dr. Norman J. Van Houten,
President, The Van Houten Foundation, Inc., Edison, NJ
"I have sent over 77 letters requesting
the donation of items for our 7th Annual Golf and Tennis
Tournament using Contact Any Celebrity. So far we have
received an autographed guitar by Melissa Etheridge as
well as all seven of her CDs, also signed by her. This
morning we received an autographed picture of Angelina
Jolie, and an autographed book by John Waters containing
3 of his movie scripts. Of the letters I sent, I have
gotten 6 back, but was able to update their addresses
using your updated database information. One of them was
for John Waters and we received something from him
almost immediately (within 2 weeks or less). Once I
reported a contact being outdated in the database, I
received an almost immediate responses indicating that
it had been updated, and thanking me for letting your
people know. I have been very pleased and excited about
the items we have received. I can't wait to see what
else we will get and how much we will be able to raise
thanks to their donations. Friends of mine who I have
told what I was doing were skeptical but now we are
showing them this really works! Thanks so much!"
