When Amber and I started SoS back in a few months ago, our main goal was to help spread the word about these three musicians that we came to adore one crazy weekend in July.  One of our “rules” was to try and limit the amount of “Twilight” talk here as we wanted to help people see them as more than “those guys who wrote that song in that movie.”  That being said, we are breaking our rule for a while– but we think its defs for a good cause.

Shack of Soul has now become an affiliate with the group, Twilight Fandom Gives Back.  The Fandom, is a group of Twilighters that are coming together to raise money for Alex’s Lemonade.  What is Alex’s Lemonade??? Well, we’re glad you asked!  Read on to find out!

Dear friends, fans, and followers,
Did you know that every year over 200,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with a form of childhood cancer? We cannot ignore this shocking statistic impacting the youth of the world, and we certainly hope that you won’t either. We need your help.
Starting Nov. 15th, through Nov. 20th, you will have the opportunity to help in the fight against childhood cancer. We haven’t set a monetary goal because we’re firm in the belief that no matter what we set, you will surpass it.
Running this virtual stand is the biggest challenge we have ever faced – the challenge of raising awareness of just how serious the epidemic of childhood cancer is.

The money raised will go to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer, a 501(c)3 public charity, to fund childhood cancer research projects. The mission of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation is to raise funds and awareness of childhood cancer causes, primarily to support research into new cures and treatments; to encourage and educate others, especially children, to raise money for childhood cancer by holding their own lemonade stands; and to expedite the process of finding new cures and treatments, and bringing them to children with cancer now.
Please help support our efforts and this critically important cause by making a contribution through our virtual stand. You can make your donation online by visiting our Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation Fundraising page: Twilight Fandom Gives Back Donation Page.

You can also help us by passing this message along to others who may be interested in visiting our virtual stand, or holding one of their own!
Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
ninapolitan, lolashoes & tby789

Nina, Lola & Christina
