Online Fundraising Pages for Brangelina and All

Brangelina’s Personal Fundraising Future

A very serious question: If Brangelina broke up, do you think BP would fundraise and if yes, how would he still donate, volunteer and fundraise?

Choice One: BP stays out of the fundraising spotlight. Haven’t seen him in US magazine in months. He’s doing fundraising for smaller, local communities. He’s living in his beloved hometown, New Orleans, and his family and friends are on his online and community fundraising teams. Much more involved in fundraising online, he speaks to local communities about the new wave of donating online and encourages the little guy to do more by raising money online through smaller projects and joining online teams. Trying to stay out of the spotlight, he’s recognized by President Obama and asked to lead a committee for Online Fundraising. Through this total independence from Ang’s international fundraising, volunteering, and donating plight, BP is a new man, still handsome as hell.

Choice Two: While some speculated that BP is growing the goatee for a movie, Perez Hilton reveals that BP’s growing it to get the perfect look to show Ang he’s the real deal. BP wants to stop fighting about New Orleans, his family, her father, and more kids. He will commit his life to his goatee, volunteering, fundraising, and donating to great causes. There is comment across the media about her new bump, his goatee, and the pending adoption of a girl of unknown origin and their ongoing donations and volunteerism. According to TMZ, Jen does not like the goatee but her rep refused to comment. BP, with his even longer goatee, is a new man, still handsome as hell.

Choice Three: BP does no active fundraising for one year. He’s sick of doing everything in these last years that Ang wants and forces him to do. He’s trying to find a new normal. He’s been spotted in Lake Como, with and without the goatee. All of his personal fundraising has been done behind closed doors through online donations in the names of family members and friends. There is speculation that he has sponsored me because one online donation to my personal fundraising page came from an anonymous donor and so I’m fairly certain that it was BP who donated online. I’m also pretty sure that he’s sponsoring me anonymously. And, though he’s not been spotted but for those couple times in Lake Como, he’s still, H.A.H..

Is It Wrong To Ask? I’ve Never Asked for an Online Donation Before…

I’m having another Oscars Party, for the fifth year in a row. It’s the only party I have every year. I think if you have too many parties, it’s too much pressure unless you’re super good looking. So, as usual, I sent out the email invite to come at 5:00 pm, bring nothing, except Sibylle has a pound cake with berries because it’s that good, and total silence because the intro is usually very funny, and three bucks for betting. Cordy’s won four years in a row so I’m just having people give their money directly to her this year – I can’t stop saying it and while I thought she’d be mad at me, instead she’s started to act like it’s her party and won’t stop calling me with instructions.

I make dinner for everyone – my favorite part. One year, I was sick and picked up a lasagna from one of my favorite restaurants and told everyone I made it. Sorry about it. I’ve been lying for two years, still getting compliments on it and can’t decide whether to pick up the lasagna again this year or come clean.

Every year, all thirty friends (yes, I have thirty friends, don’t ask how or why) ask over and over what they can bring. I’m torn. Not about the food or drinks – that’s covered – but about asking them to contribute to my online fundraising pages. It’s not easy to ask.

I have a personal fundraising page on Crowdrise.com and my new online project is really meaningful and probably meaningful to most people coming to the Oscars party. Because it’s a new fundraiser for me, not many of my friends know about it yet, so none of them have donated. But they’re all in my community, many do work related to the fundraising project and would likely support the cause. Problem is, I’ve never done any personal fundraising at any of the parties in the last four years – is it wrong to ask?

I’m thinking of setting up my laptop in a non-discrete area and having my online fundraising page up on the screen and leaving some information about it out in a couple places in my condo so they can donate online throughout the night if they want to contribute to the personal fundraiser page. That’s good. Really good. You should do it, too. Sponsor me, donate online, start your own online fundraiser for the best cause ever, have an Oscars party and for sure get that lasagna and pretend you made it.
