New Benson Fundraiser

[CMK1887]

First off, the following fundraiser has nothing to do with Triangle Tara.

Diane Benson has recently announced that she will be having another fundraiser that will help with the production of Amber's next film. Anyone is allowed to participate in the fundraiser.

The fundraiser consists of sending a donation to Amber for her new film. When you donate $1.00 or more, your name will be entered into a drawing for one or two signed action figures.

Drawings will be held at the end of each month for the next four months (September, October, November, December). There will be a total of four drawings and two winners for each drawing. Amber will draw the names out of a hat each month.

The month in which you send your donation corresponds with which drawing you'll be a part of. For instance, if you send a donation in October, than your name will go into the drawing for October.

The action figures that Diane and Amber will be receiving from DST for the fundraiser are the Hush Tara figure and the figures from the Willow & Tara 'Together Forever' Two-Pack. These are the figures that are possible to be signed if your name is picked during the drawing each month.

Donations should be sent to:

• Benson Entertainment
  14622 Ventura Blvd.
  Box 364
  Sherman Oaks, CA 91403

Make sure that you enclose your name and address (in case you win) with your donation.

Remember...all it takes to be put into a drawing is $1 (although it would probably be more appreciated if you could donate a little bit more than that).

So this has nothing to do with Triangle Tara, Right? I'm just a bit confused right now .

[CMK1887]

This fundraiser has nothing to do with Triangle Tara.

It does, however, have to do with the production of Amber's film.

Winners could receive either Hush Tara or the Willow & Tara 'Together Forever' Two-Pack.

1. Diane Benson is Amber Benson's mother.

2. I'm pretty sure that any donation from anyone will be accepted.

Cool! That's a great idea, I would do anything to help out a Buffy actor! , she's getting every cent I have to spare...which is like 5 bucks

[Justhad]

Would she like us to send cash or a check?
And if it's the latter, who would be address it to?

[Harm's Way]

I am so donating!

[The Second Evil]

Ok. Just a thought - what does she do with the money if she can't get enough to make a film?

They request that you do not send cash through the mail. You can get the full info here: www.efanguide.com/~amber/calendar.html. There is a movie plot synopsis, as well as info on a whole separate contest to help Amber name the movie (which was mentioned in another thread).

They have special instructions for fans in the EU who want to donate.

She'll probably do it lower-budget. It's expensive to make films, but with new digitcal technology it's increasingly more affordable. I know Amber was able to make her first film, Chance, from her own funds and donations from fans, so I don't imagine this one will be any different. She's probably set asides proceeds from the sale of the Chance DVD, and I imagine she'll keep fundraising until she has enough, rather than scrap the idea and use the money she's received to do something else.

[Justhad]
