Look What Charities & Nonprofits Are Saying...
"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!!!"
"I have enclosed the letter I used to solicit
celebrity items for our black-tie event which raised over
$31,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"So far Contact Any Celebrity has been a great
help to our organization in contacting celebrities for our
current fundraiser."
"We have had tremendous success with Contact Any
Celebrity. We are a growing world concert charity organization
and information pertaining to our event and celebrities is
essential. This site is absolutely wonderful and is essential to
the success of any charity event."
"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."
"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."
"On behalf of the Africa AIDS Fund, I 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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Your Contact Any Celebrity service is amazing,
only 19 returns from 400+ sent out."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I appreciate you and the Contact Any Celebrity
service you provide. We have benefited greatly."
"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 "Trooper" items, CD's, DVD and two
tickets to an Iron Maiden concert -- in addition to signed items
from international racing driver David Coulthard, Jamiroquai,
Rod Stewart, Manchester United Football Club, Bolton Wanderers
Football Club, McFly and Steve Winwood using Contact Any
Celebrity."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"Thanks for a wonderful service -- we really
appreciate it. We are fundraising for our horse rescue to save
more horses so thanks again for all your help. Great work
Contact Any Celebrity!"
"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." 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."
"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!" 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." Autographed Items Received: · Tom Cruise Autographed War of the Worlds Memorabilia · Yogi Berra Autographed Photo · Donald Trump Autographed Photo · Alec Baldwin Autographed Photo · John Travolta Autographed Photo · Tony Hawk Autographed Poster · Autographed Comic Strip Fox Trot · Donated by: Bill Breen · Lesley Ann Down Autographed Photo · Michael Andretti Autographed Photo · Jack Nicholas Autographed Photo · Marty Allen Autographed Photo & VHS · Dom Deluise Signed Photo & Drawing · Mike Myers Autographed Photo · Mark O'Meara Autographed Photo · Clint Eastwood Autographed Photo · Kasey Kahne Autographed Photo · Erin Crocker Autographed Photo · Steve and Terri Irwin Autographed Photo · Mike Ferrell Autographed Photo · Ian Baker Finch Signed Photo & Golf Glove · Arnold Palmer Autographed Photo · Shane Battier Autographed Photo · Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams Signed Photo · Bernhard Langer Signed Photo and Visor · Al Unser Signed Trading Cards, Hat & Photo · Jerome Carter Signed Mini Rams Helmet · Julie Inkster Signed Solheim Cup Sweater · Robin William Autographed Poster · Buddy Rice Autographed t-Shirt · Danica Patrick Autographed Hat · Bill Engvall Signed t-Shirt & DVD · Narvel Felts Signed CD Rockabilly's · Jeff Bridges Signed Book Making of White Squall · Janet Evanovich Autographed Book To The Nines · Max Lucado Autographed Book Next Door Savior · Clive Cussler Book The Adventures of Vin Fiz · Catherine Coulter Autographed Book Blow Out · Bob Newhart Autographed Script · George Lopez Autographed Script · Lynn Johnson Autographed Book · Sandra Brown Autographed Book Chill Factor · Davis Love III Autographed Book How to feel a Real Golf Swing - Patsy Reublin, Malden, MO
"Excellent customer service I have to say! I have
enjoyed using Contact Any Celebrity and as a fundraiser I hope
that it will prove really useful."
"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."
"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."
"On behalf of all of us, please accept our thanks
for your Contact Any Celebrity database and the assistance it
gave us to help fight Cancer."
"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."
"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!" "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.
"The Celebrity Charitable Causes Database is a
great resource and very easy to use."
"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!" "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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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!" |
