Tailfeathers had its first yearly charity fundraiser last year, supporting Cancer Research UK; unfortunately, we fell very short of our goal (£40 was raised, compared to the goal of £500) -- however, we are hoping that improvements this year will make our goal of £500 possible!
The charity we have selected this year is a small grassroots organization called The Tree of Life for Animals, which helps stray animals all over India. Christmastime is soon upon us and given that we are all animal lovers on this website, we figured that it is appropriate to think of all the other animals in the world who need our help. Any little bit can make a difference! For more information about this great organization, please see here:

We will have this fundraiser run until the end of December, and our goal is once again 500 pounds -- that's approximately 746 US dollars, 908 Canadian dollars, 583 Euros, 1,124 Australian dollars, 1,332 New Zealand dollars.*
With this much time and so many members, we should be able to easily hit and maybe even exceed this goal. Let us come together to help find a cure for cancer!
After clicking the donate button, you will be taken to JustGiving's donation page where you enter your details and card information. Sadly an account has to be made first, but this only takes a minute and is completely safe. On the last page where it asks what name you would like to be shown on the donators list below, use your username at the message board! You can be anonymous as well if you would prefer, but you must enter your username in order to take advantage of this offer: All who donate at least £10 will receive a free two month Tailfeathers Gold subscription (current members will have theirs extended by a month) and all woh donate above £50 will receive a free year!
*The official currency of our charity and fundraiser is the British Pound. However, anyone may donate regardless of which country you live in and which currency you use! Simply enter a donation amount in pounds and your card will automatically charge the equivalent amount in your currency. For your convenience, here are some example exchange rates as of November 15, 2008; keep in mind these figures update every day and that card companies choose slightly different figures as well, so what you are charged most likely will not match completely what you convert on your own.
£1 = US$1.49 ::: £1 = CA$1.82 ::: £1 = AUS$2.25 ::: £1 = €1.17 ::: £1 = NZ$2.66
