Celebrate Michael Jackson's 54th Birthday While Helping Others

Heal The World!

Michael Jackson's humanitarian work is almost as legendary as his dancing.  It is only fitting that fans worldwide join in an effort to mark Michael's birthday at the end of the month,  while giving a helping to those in need.

The group One Rose For Michael J Jackson, which recently helped deliver thousands of roses to Forest Lawn last June 25th,  have selected three (3) very important charities to guide fans in their own humanitarian gesture.

Donations are sent DIRECTLY to the organizations. No third party involved.

Here are all the information you need...to help MAKE THAT CHANGE:

1)  To Donate to St-Jude Research Hospital 

2) To Donate to American Vitiligo Research Foundation 

3) To Donate to UNICEF Immunizations


Again, ALL FUNDS go directly to each organization, not to One Rose, so you can be sure your money is really going to help those is need.


If you have additional questions, you can contact One Rose For Michael J Jackson on their twitter @OneRose4MJJ  or on Facebook


MAKE THAT CHANGE!

St Jude Hospital's Memorial Fund: Andjustice4some's son Aaron

* Update: Thank you to all who've donated. So far, over $1,500 raised in memory of Aaron.






Memorial Fund for @andjustice4some 's son at St. Jude Children's Hospital. Please read and RT.

St Jude Hospital's Memorial Fund for Aaron

As Michael said many times he believed all the children of the world were “ours” so in that vein we dedicate these funds in honor of OUR son, Aaron. 

Andjustice4some's son Aaron has passed away on February 14, 2012. 

Andjustice4some is a well known and loved member of the MJ Community due to her informational blog posts and being an advocate of MJ. As you all know, we see each other as a family and Andjustice4some's loss is our loss. 

In a Michael Jackson fashion, we thought that the best way to remember and honor Aaron and express our condolences is to donate to St. Jude Children's Hospital in Aaron's name.

St Jude Hospital's Memorial Fund for Aaron

Even if you can't donate, please write your condolences messages for the family, in the guest book at the above link. 

Note: 
- You can make anonymous donations or write a nickname in "recognition name" box.
- You'll need a credit card to donate.
- All of your donations are DIRECTLY collected by St. Jude Children's Hospital.


Please donate generously, and help save another child, in Aaron's name.

Famine Relief Update

It looks like Michael Jackson fans won't stop 'til they get enough! 


As we told you a few days ago, Michael Jackson's fans started a campaign to help bring relief to Africa's famine problem "Be Mike Like - Michael Jackson Fans United For Famine Relief" on Facebook.  Through UNICEF's website, we were able to setup a direct donation page UNICEF USA  in Michael Jackson's and his fans' name. 


As of now, there are $1,328 in donations!! MJ fans are promoting this campaign all over the internet, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and many other websites and social forums. It's heartwarming to see everyone come together for the greater good!


Another Group on Facebook - "One Rose For Michael" has set up donations for vaccinations against tetanus, measles and polio for children in the poorest countries. So far, over 3,000 vaccines have been donated by Michael's fans. 


Again, all money collected through this effort, will be forwarded to UNICEF in Michael Jackson's name on August 29th, day of his 53rd birthday.  Please visit their page, all the links and information are listed there, and add your name to this great cause


For those in Canada - the Government will match all individual donations to UNICEF Canada branch, between now and September 16th, 2011. Follow the link to donate to UNICEF Canada


If you know of other important fund raising efforts close to your heart, let us know & we will be happy to share with others.


We are doing a good thing here and in our opinion - Michael Jackson would be VERY proud of his fans!!

Thank you for your generosity. Let's continue doing the best we can, to help "Heal the World"

Make That Change: Your Own Tribute to Michael

To all Michael Jackson fans, 

For the past week, there have been a lot of discussions as to the validity of a tribute show during the Conrad Murray trial and without his estate involvement. 

Many fans have already indicated they will not attend the tribute. 
We ask that all of you do what could be considered the greatest tribute to a humanitarian like Michael Jackson: Donate to help famine relief in Africa. 


In the spirit of Michael Jackson and the effort, that he and a group of artists started 26 years ago with We Are the World, we encourage you all to go the extra mile and donate. 

We think this is one tribute, Michael Jackson, without a doubt, would be very proud of. 

You can give a TRIBUTE DONATION in Memory of Michael Jackson or in the Spirit of We Are The World

We have contacted the children branch of the United Nations to inquire about a designated fund for Michael Jackson fans.  This fund would allow MJ fans to track their donations.  As soon as we get a reply, we will gladly share it with you all. 


In the meantime, people are dying everyday in Africa, so we MUST act quickly. You do not have to wait for the Michael Jackson fund to be setup to make a difference. 

PLEASE DONATE TO THE UNICEF MICHAEL JACKSON FUND 

Update: From around the world, you can donate to the newly created UNICEF Michael Jackson Fans for Africa HERE
