Bono's Birthday: still time to donate

Hello fellow Plebans :

Bono’s Birthday Fundraiser Off to an Extraordinary Start!

Thanks to the generosity of U2 fans all over the world, the 3rd annual “Build a Well for Bono’s Birthday” is off to a tremendous start! Midway through the campaign, over $10,000 has been raised. As wonderful as that amount is, we would love to double or even triple it. This is an entirely reachable goal -- the money raised so far has been through the generosity of approximately 300 fans, and we know there are thousands of us out there! Working together we can truly make this a birthday to remember for Bono while at the same time changing lives in Africa forever.

If you have not donated yet, there is still time: the campaign runs through May 1st. Just visit http://www.africanwellfund.org/Bono-Well-2005.html for all the details on how to donate and sign the card. If you would like to help further, please visit http://www.africanwellfund.org/BBW3-Downloads.html for downloadable banners, avatars and brochures.

Made my contribution already.

Just waiting to pass out those AWF flyers in Chicago!

This is TRULY the best thing that we can do for Bono for his birthday - helping Africans lift themselves out of poverty and giving them some hope for the future.

In the Name of Love....

Uno , Dos, Tres, CATORCE!

There are three days left in April, and Catorce! 14 days, until May 10, Bono’s birthday.

Why are we celebrating the biggest rock star on the planet’s birthday?

Because each of us can do our part in turning poverty on it’s ear by providing clean water to mothers, children, newborn babies. Making each person part of the plan to save lives.

Help reduce malaria, cholera, diarrhea.

ONE person can do it and that person can be YOU.

Find us online at http://africanwellfund.org/Bono-Well-2005.html

And be a part of the voice that is changing Africa, that voice is building HOPE, one well at a time.

That is so true, i mean if each person (here at this site or else where) got together, it CAN make a difference, even the smallest amount, all the way to the most generous....ONE is planty, becuase we all are ALL one, and one together is our future....It all starts (and ends) at one.

The 3rd Annual “Build a Well for Bono’s Birthday” Campaign Grand Total!!!

This year’s fundraiser has drawn to a close and the African Well Fund is thrilled to announce the grand total of

$26,457.92!

Due to the generosity of U2 fans from all over the world, this year’s total tops the previous two years combined. A good portion of the total was raised through the efforts of @U2 and three U2 tribute bands; Southern California based The Joshua Tree, San Francisco’s Zoo Station and Boston’s The Joshua Tree Band. Their combined efforts raised more than $4,800 towards the total.

Two of AWF’s board members were able to speak to Bono at the recent book signing in Boston. Informed of this year’s total, Bono expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the work that AWF does and was genuinely touched by the generosity of U2 fans. A Well Share Certificate for the total collected as well as a booklet of your compiled birthday greetings has been sent to Bono via Principle Management.

This year’s donations will be used to fund water projects in Angola. Seven springs have been identified for protection in the Trumba communa in Kuito, one of which will serve a school and health center. Please visit our website for updates on these projects. While there, be sure to check out the updates for the 2003 and 2004 Bono Birthday Well projects.

The African Well Fund would like to thank all those who donated or contributed their time to this year’s fundraising effort. Your generosity has been unprecedented. If you missed this year’s fundraiser and would still like to donate, it’s not too late. The African Well Fund accepts donations year round. For more details, please visit www.africanwellfund.org.
