SUPPORT GERARDBUTLER.NET
GerardButler.Net continues to receive Amazon.com commissions to help support the website expenses, but those commissions are down with the economic challenges of the times. While our hosting fees are covered, we still have expenses like domain registrations, postal mailbox, postage for contest winners and our newsletter service. These expenses total close to $750. Looking forward to 2011, we would love to cover those charges now and donate the Amazon.com commissions to charity at the end of the year. If you would like to help support the website, click here. As of today, $350 has been donated. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far!! Every little bit helps and thank you so very much for all your support in the past. Without you, the fans, we would not still be here close to 10 years after we began!!
In an article he wrote for USA Today, Gerard says about his recent charity efforts with Kids Kicking Cancer:
Every contribution makes a difference. Along with my support of Haiti, I’ve had a long-standing involvement with the charity Kids Kicking Cancer. Started by Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg — a martial arts black belt who lost his first child to leukemia — KKC teaches kids with cancer or cancer-related illnesses the healing, mind-body themes of martial arts training. They learn methods of relaxation, meditation, pain management, deep breathing and karate — all of which provide them with a sense of purpose, teamwork and unity. The children I meet as part of my work with KKC are such an inspiration to me. I get so much more back from these kids than I give. The power, the strength and the sheer joy in these kids — many fighting for their lives and in chronic pain — is incredible.
