Becky Gomes
Celebrity Doodles Video

Hi, I'm Becky Gomes. I'm here in Pittsburgh, PA and I wanted to tell you a little bit about how I used Jordan's Celebrity Black Book to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

My daughter has cystic fibrosis and so what I did was take the book, write out a letter that I believe Jordan has a sample of and ask celebrities from the book to please send their doodle back to me so that we could put them in our Casino Royale auction and auction them off to people.

I love the doodles, and so we then take them over to a photographer and he mats them and frames them for free. Then we put them in as a silent auction item. So what I have behind me are some of the doodles that I hurry up and bid on because I think they're so neat.

Right behind me I have some of the doodles. This one is from Dana Delany and this one here is from Loni Anderson. She sent a picture and a drawing. We ask them to do a personal drawing either of themselves or of something they want to talk about. This was from the cartoonist who draws Beetle Bailey his name is Mort Walker. This is Cathy Guisewite who does the Cathy cartoon. This is from Gus Arriola. He is also a cartoonist and it says CFF needs you and I thought that was kind of neat. This one up here is from Betty White and this is from Dom DeLuise.

So we've done this for three or four years in a row now and I always write to the people who have given this to me before. Of course I always send a thank you note to them to let them know how much was raised for our organization. And so I'd like to show you some other ones that are over on the other side because I have a couple more.

So again, how we use these doodles once they come in is we frame them and everything and then we put them up for auction items. So our best doodle ever was Sarah Jessica Parker, and it was right when Sex and the City was huge in the midst of its heyday. She sent a full 8x10 picture of herself signed, and then she drew a great picture of herself. We had them matted side by side and there was a bidding war on it and it went up for over $500. So just that one doodle alone got us over $500 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Here are the last of the doodles I have. Here is Rosanna Arquette. I got three from her. She had sent this picture of herself in, this drawing of herself and this drawing of herself. They framed them all differently, but then I got them. We had them bid as a three-pack and I thought that was kind of neat. This is my favorite one. It's from Tim Conway. He sent a picture of himself and a drawing of himself and he crossed out "and his dog" because there's no dog there. Then I got Denzel Washington who just sent a picture of himself.

So that's pretty much how we use the doodle letter and how we make money for our organization. I can't recommend Jordan's book the Celebrity Black Book enough. We sent over 600 letters and we got about a 6% response which was great. Normally it's under 1%. I love Jordan. Any addresses that you get back you just send to his company and they will find the correct address if there's a certain star that you want. He's been great to deal with and I recommend everyone get his book because if you want to collect autographs or doodles or anything for your organization to contact celebrities, his site is the only place to go. He's the best at what he does. So thank you Jordan. I appreciate everything you've done for us and for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
