Upcoming Buffy/Angel Event

It's the stuff dreams are made of…….

 

If you are amazed and touched by the fans of Angel who have organized 
Blood Drives across the US, then read this powerful story of how two 
fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer helped change the lives of children.

 

Once upon a time, two Buffy fans came together, not only to share 
their love for the show, but also to put their passion to good use. 
Together, they formed Slay-A-Thon, an organization that raises money 
for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a charity which Angel star J. August 
Richards also supports.

 

Slay-A-Thon organizes a full day of watching the best Buffy the 
Vampire Slayer episodes, where all the fans get together to indulge 
themselves in the best moments from the series.  Together, they laugh 
and cry, all the time raising money via sponsorship to help children 
with life threatening diseases fulfill their dream. 

 

In 2003, Slay-A-Thon was able to send a five year old cancer patient 
to Disney World. Her dream was to meet Sleeping Beauty. And she did. 
Her wish was granted thanks to the fans who had attended the Slay-A-
Thon events on 2003. Without the fans, the wish may not have been 
granted.

 

In 2004, Slay-A-Thon raised the bar to grant two wishes!!! The 
attendees were treated to a special guest…. a Wish Child that the 
event was going to be granting a wish for! Amazing items signed by 
the cast of both Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel were auctioned off 
to help raise the funds. Along with the countless contributions the 
attendees brought to the event. With the help of fans, Slay-A-Thon 
raised over 10,000 dollars!!! 

 

Slay-A-Thon 2005 looks set to raise yet more money as the news has 
spread far and wide across the internet and fans are queuing up for a 
place in the exclusive one hundred strong crowd. Not only have they 
been given the opportunity to raise money for charity, but they also 
have the opportunity to present a home made videos on the seven years 
of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and five years of Angel.  Not only will 
the winner be rewarded with a "cool slayer prize," but their videos 
will be presented at the marathon.

 

Along with the fan video, the best episodes from Buffy the Vampire 
Slayer and Angel will be voted on and watched during the event. 

 

There will also be a live auction, silent auctions and a raffle where 
fans will be able to get their hands on signed goodies from various 
stars of Buffy the Vampire Slayer such as Joss Whedon, Michelle 
Trachtenberg, Nick Brendon, Amber Benson, Anthony Stewart Head, Emma 
Caulfield, Eliza Dushku,  Elizabeth Anne Allen, Kristine Sutherland, 
George Hertzberg, Charlie Weber, Rudolph Martin, Juliet Landau, Clare 
Kramer, Seth Green, Paige Moss and Robia La Morte. But it doesn't end 
there, because the stars of Angel have also contributed. David 
Boreanaz, Charisma Carpenter, James Marsters, J. August Richards, 
Alexis Denisof, Mercedes McNab, Stephanie Romanov, Vincent 
Kartheiser, Julie Benz, Sarah Thompson, and Christian Kane have all 
donated signed prizes.
