How Are We Doing?

The press releases went out April 1st, so we are just underway. As time goes on, we will post the names of each person or company that purchases a candy bar. For those that would like to buy a candy bar in honor or in remembrance of someone, we will put their name here.

DARLING CETACEANS has no direct relation with Nestle® and has purchased the 100 Grand® candy bars at normal wholesale price from a third party retailer for the purpose of the "Candy Bar Campaign" fundraiser, the official title of this fundraiser. "$150 Grand w/ 100 Grand® bars" or any version of said phrase is a description only and not the name of this promotion. Nor is the brand name 100 Grand® used in any other way as part of a title or name within the business of the DARLING CETACEANS organization.

What Is This All About?

To achieve our mission, funds are raised through membership fees, donations and grants. However, D.C. has concentrated so much on reaching the community that we have neglected raising enough funds to be able to continue the mission. We have never done a membership drive, and we just don't have the people to go out and get corporate sponsors. That has left us in a tough situation.

Changing the course, D.C. is temporarily re-focusing from education outreach to ensuring we can continue to educate long into the future. Gaining membership support is still very much needed, but along with that, we are beginning a campaign to raise $150,000 in just 3 months.

For an organization that has not raised $25,000 in a year, this is a major undertaking and a big faith step. However, after watching Oprah's Big Give and Celebrity Apprentice, we are inspired to dream big. We figured that if people were willing to dish out a few hundred bucks for a hotdog on a N.Y. City street corner for charity, certainly people and businesses will understand the magnitude of what D.C. is doing and will come to its aid.

Have you ever bought a candy bar from a kid for $2 to help them buy new uniforms? Well we're selling candy bars for $1,000. Frankly, it takes more money to save the earth than it does to buy uniforms. The plan is to sell 150 candy bars to individuals, groups and corporations to reach the $150,000 line.

The $150,000 goal will allow the organization to continue educating the public for the rest of the year and permit it to take the next step towards securing permanent funding. Plus, it will facilitate the start of a capital campaign to create the DARLING CETACEAN Center. The Center will be a state of the art marine mammal museum, science library and research laboratory.

The only hang-up to our Candy Bar Campaign is our limit of contacts who have the money to contribute. Our Rolodex does not hold nearly the contacts of Piers Morgan, Trace Adkins or any of the other celebrities on Celebrity Apprentice, so D.C. is counting on corporations and individuals who care about animals and the environment to come forward to purchase one or more candy bars. If you are a tree-hugger, celebrity, or simply a person who wants to make sure polar bears and manatees have places to call home; contact us today to purchase your candy bar.

OLLING

A bar graph with no bars. This is like a terrible cell phone commercial. We're not worried, though. The campaign only started April 1st. We gotta give people at least a couple days to send in their checks.

* 4/30 Ok, we're a little concerned, now. What about using those Economic Stimulus Checks to create jobs and protect the earth?
