We'd like to introduce you to www.fansgivingback.org, a new interactive website created to bring celebrities, fans, causes & charities together. After reading about us we hope you will grant us authorization to create a celebrity page for you and your favorite causes & charities.

While our website is interactive, the content is controlled by the fansgivingback team which allows us to maintain the integrity of the information within our site. This control allows us to provide a place on the web where celebrities know that their fans will be viewing accurate information on themselves and the causes & charities they support. Fans come to our site knowing that the information on the celebrity pages come from the celebrities themselves, creating a feeling of unity and connection towards the causes & charities.

Celebrity pages are created only upon receiving permission from the celebrity and/or their designated representative. Using information provided by the celebrity/celebrity rep or obtained from authorized web sites a short bio, photo(s) and information on causes & charities we create a web page entry. The links within the celebrity pages lead readers directly to the official websites of the respective causes. Celebrity involvement can be as simple granting permission or as involved as provided all content and updates as desired. While we are flexible on how content is provided, our one requirement is that the finished product is an accurate representation of the celebrity.

Fans email their pictures, experiences and stories on how they volunteer and give back for inclusion on the website's "Fans Who Give Back" section. Once we have the fan's permission to publish names and photos, the submission piece is edited only for clarity which allows the personality and enthusiasm of the fan to shine authentically.

As you look about our website, you will notice that the majority of the current content is centered on Daytime shows, actors and their fans. Our original intent was to start with this genre and grow into other entertainment forums. Within a week of starting the website, we received requests to include several actors with prime time and film credits. We realized that to delay the growth of our website would be at odds with our original vision of bringing celebrities, fans, causes & charities together.

While the website has been in existence for just over a week, we are proud to have created pages for several of Daytime's biggest stars. We also have begun a partnership with Associated Television International (producers of the 36th & 37th Annual Daytime Emmys). ATI has granted us full usage rights on their media items relating to "Daytime Gives Back" a documentary with several of Daytime's brightest stars including Susan Lucci, Kelly Monaco, Anthony Geary and Montel Williams. Portions of this documentary were shown at the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Award Show this past August. The endorsement of ATI along with usage permission of their material instantly brought us to a new level of credibility within the Daytime community.

We are offering you the opportunity of having a celebrity page on www.fansgivingback.org . There absolutely no cost to the celebrity or fan to have content on our website. If you would like to participate or have more questions, please contact me at admin@fansgivingback.org . This email has protected access to ensure celebrity contact confidentiality. You can also find me on Twitter @fansgivingback
