Well just doing what you're doing is helping spread the word!

I'll be around and playing that day, but not setup to stream. I'll see if I can get a headset working so maybe I'll pop into the chat page.

[Munki]

No voice on the chat page. It's not our standard chat system, it's an open to the public, basic text chat on the charity page.

Yeah, but you know how they think. Today, a children's charity, tomorrow NAMBLA...

Well I guess I shouldn't complain too much Playstation retweeted us last night  

[MartB64]

Insomniac games also retweeted us, playstation also did it again 24 hrs later, bless 'em,  

I want to encourage everyone to make a final push to get us some recognition please, with only 2 days to go, we really need everybody to tweet/myspace/digg/redit/facebook etc etc

We have all kinds of links available:

Our Press Release: http://www.prlog.org/10679546

Our Flyer in .pdf format: http://bit.ly/bcuYpk

Our Flyer in .jpg format: http://bit.ly/8ZG93I  

The basic link that will drop people straight onto the charity page:
http://beautifulpeoplesclub.org

There are also numerous posts in the Playstation forums, and a Facebook event on our BPC Facebook page that you can invite people to.

The more people we can attract to our event, the more successful it will be and I'm sure you all want to be responsible for helping out childsplaycharity.org and the childrens hospitals they work with.

If anyone needs help with posting links etc please don't hesitate to contact me and I'll help you out as much as possible.

Lastly, I'm going to ask you to canvas your family, friends, social groups and co-workers for donations, after all that's the aim of the whole thing, to get as many donations as possible for charity.

Good luck everyone, and thanks for your efforts

I was wondering, BPC is a global community with members from the USA, Canada and the UK etc etc. The Child's Play Charity is a United States charity, is it possible for BPC to hold a charity event for other countries, or is this something that would be too complicated?

If we ever did a Canadian Charity Event, I would like to suggest a charity event similar to Child's Play, here in BC Canada. Here in BC, Canada we have the BC Children's Hospital that most people have charity events and fund raisers for.

Please have a look and the following links. Maybe we could do some charity events that help out more counties.

BC Children's Hospital main website

Donations are made through the,
BC Children's Hospital Foundation

What's funny, Viper, is that Child's Play actually supports several Canadian children's hospitals, including Sick Kids here into Toronto, AND the BC Children't hospital.  Just check the link to Child's Play on the BPC charity page, and you'll see them.

Dunno about Extra Play, our next planned charity though.

I will have another look. But I would want to make sure that my donation went to my local charity, not that I don't think others are any less deserving, and I would also be eligible for a tax receipt.

ALL registered charities will provide a tax receipt (upon request), that is the law.

Extra Life has changed it's format this year and will support your local hospitals via the Childrens Miracle Network (details here).

Obviously as we get closere to that time we'll thrash out the details of how BPC is going to support this event. But right now quite honestly I'm pooped and I'm going to take a few days to rest before even thinking about it.

That looks like a good idea.

How late is the charity donation part going on tomorrow? I tried to get a pre-paid credit card from Radioshack but Master card has to mail it to me and that will take a week, now I gotta find a different way
