| Another fan participation project from the org guys! It would be nice if you guys could take part:
Quote: What is the Great8Mandate Daisy Campaign?
As we've all heard, Warner Bros. and The CW recently announced the cancellation of our Girls. In order to show 'the powers that be' that Gilmore fans are truly dedicated and still stand behind season 8, the Great8Mandate Daisy Campaign was born. Taking a cue from our favorite show, the Daisy Campaign will physically deliver bouquets of daisies to important parties involved in the season 8 decision making process in hopes of changing the season 8 tides.
The exact executives/actors who will receive the daisies depends entirely on how much money the campaign raises. It would be safe to assume that our first targets are people like Dawn Ostroff (President of Entertainment, The CW Television Network), Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Peter Roth (President, Warner Brothers Television) and so on.
How can I participate and send daisies?
There are two ways to participate in the Daisy Campaign. Supporters can either send bouquets of daisies on their own, or they can send money to GilmoreGirls.org via PayPal so that resources can be pooled together.
What happens once I send money to GilmoreGirls.org?
Every dollar that is sent to GilmoreGirls.org for the Daisy Campaign will be used for purchasing flowers. GilmoreGirls.org will work closely with local florists to ensure that money is spent properly and on something Gilmore fans will be proud of. If possible, photos will be taken of the daisy bouquets. At the very least GilmoreGirls.org will provide receipts for all flower purchases so that participants can see exactly how money was sent.
How can I send money to GilmoreGirls.org for the Daisy Campaign?
PayPal payments can be sent to: heidi@gilmoregirls.org
What is PayPal?
PayPal.com is a company/service that allows individuals to send and receive money online. It's free, secure, and a fast way to send payments. Users can send payments using a credit card, debit card, or bank account. For first time PayPal users, I suggest visiting PayPal.com and taking a look around. It only takes a few minutes to sign up for an account and send a payment.
When is the last day money can be sent in for the Daisy Campaign?
As of this moment, the campaign's deadline is May 13th. Depending on how much money is raised, GilmoreGirls.org may choose to send multiple bouquets of daisies, or one giant bouquet. If at any point news is released that there is zero (absolutely no hope) for a season 8 revival, GilmoreGirls.org will stop accepting payments for the campaign.
If I have questions about the Daisy Campaign, who can I contact?
All questions, comments, and suggestions are all welcome. Please feel free to post them in this thread. If you'd prefer to contact GilmoreGirls.org via e-mail, write to heidi@gilmoregirls.org.
Final comments
Please don't donate money to the Daisy Campaign if it will be any kind of financial hardship. No one should feel bad if they can't participate; this is just one of many ways to participate in the Great8Mandate. Please also go into this campaign with eyes wide open. Meaning, this grand gesture probably won't save our Girls. You probably won't receive any kind of thank you from Dawn, Lauren, or Alexis. This is simply our way of trying to persuade the powers that be. Our way of knowing that we did everything possible to save our favorite show.
