The African Well Fund would like to announce a fundraising drive to build a well for Bonos birthday on May 10th . In the tradition of such past successful online fundraisers for Amnesty and Jubilee, we are appealing to the U2 fan community for donations. Instead of a traditional birthday card that many fans send on their own or as part of a U2 community, we want to pull together ALL U2 fans to participate in the following:
We will be collecting the signatures of all those who donate to be compiled into a birthday card to be sent to Bono c/o Principle Management along with an acknowledgement from Africare of the funds raised in his honor.
The cost of building a well in Africa is approximately $1000 U.S. The fundraiser will run from April 1st -- May 1st. Judging by the success of past Bono birthday fundraisers and the proven generosity of U2 fans, we hope to fund at least one well and maybe more during this time period of 30 days.
To contribute to the Well Fund please visit our website at www.africanwellfund.org and follow the instructions for donating there. OR call 1-202-462-3614 and mention the code U203 when you donate to ensure the funds go to this cause. To sign the card, send your signature in the form of a scanned signature or drawings/pictures etc or an email text message to laraw@ptpromo.com. They will all be compiled into a card and the finished card will be emailed to everyone who donated.
Please consider donating today. Your donation, however small, joined with the donations of others can make a real difference in the life of an entire African village. Just $25 each from 40 fans would fund a well. There are thousands of us out there! Who knows how many wells we can build!
What better way for us to toast Bono on his birthday than to build a well in his honor.
