Blood drive in the Bronx this Saturday ~ December 6th

The New York blood drive event is this weekend.... Saturday, 12/06/08. When I first heard about this event, it seemed so far away. December already! I thought I had more time to try to make Santa's "nice" list *grin* One sure way to get on his good side is to donate life saving blood :)

Message of thanks and information from Alex O'Loughlin

Another thoughtful message from Alex O'Loughlin :)

October already!

Hello everyone.

I would like to start by talking a bit about The American Red Cross. As you all know I was approached whilst on the show Moonlight to be a spokesperson and representative for this organization. Of course I accepted immediately. I felt honored to be a part of it and hoped I could somehow make a difference in the lives of others. Now with my Red Cross involvement drawing to a close I can only hope I did enough, but that being said I would like to bring up something I have mentioned before.

ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE INVOLVED!!

It was only possible for me to participate because so many wonderful, committed and passionate people came before me and put everything in it's right place for me to be able to slip into the role I eventually did. There are so many of you (and you know who you are!) who were instrumental in this venture and some of you I had the opportunity to thank personally, but to the others I never met or spoke with, thank you so very much. From the bottom of my heart I appreciate the goodwill and charity with which you all worked, and if everyone in the world practiced the same selflessness as you, well..... ;) I think we would all be doing just fine by now! Thank you.

I have only just caught up on all of my birthday mail and there were many of you who sent the most wonderful gifts and cards/letters/messages. It made my birthday something extra ordinary and I felt very loved so thank you very much!!

Wow, lots of "thank you"s today.

As for me, I am great. I am very busy, and have been since we last chatted, on the new project I am developing but it is all still hush hush, sorry guys! Anyway, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up in case we don't make it to the screen. So fingers crossed!

I will keep you all posted as soon as I have some exciting news!!

All my love

Italian fan video promotes WorldWide Moonlight Red Cross Donation Campaign

The fans from Moonlight the Italian Cure have created this great video to promote the WorldWide Moonlight Red Cross Donation Campaign :) As you know, the idea is to honor the anniversary of our show's premiere. Since September 28th is a Sunday this year, donations made on Monday, September 29th will also be counted.

Fan video dedicated to Worldwide Moonlight Red Cross Campaign

The always clever Kelcouch has made a wonderful fan video to promote the Worldwide Moonlight Red Cross Donation Campaign :) She selected very appropriate scenes from our show (for example, Josef saying "Remind me to donate a little something to charity" ~ ha!) to go along with the theme. Music used is the song I'm Not Over by Carolina Liar.

Worldwide Moonlight Red Cross Campaign

As you know, the one year anniversary of Moonlight's premiere is fast approaching.... September 28th. Many Moonlight fans are making plans to commemorate that special date. Some are having gatherings & picnics, marathon watching parties, doing volunteer work and so on.

The international community has come up with a splendid idea. Fans are being asked to donate to the Red Cross in honor of Moonlight. With all the horrible hurricanes, earthquakes, floods & other disasters, the money is definitely needed. Be sure to notify the charity that you are donating in the name of Moonlight :)

Please note : Your funds should be donated directly to the Red Cross!

Here are a few details ~

Dear Moonlight Community,

Over at Moonlight en Español we (Latinamerican and Spanish fans) have been discussing a world wide campaign to raise Moonlight awareness. We decided to organize one day where fans from around the world could make a monetary donation to the Red Cross in Moonlight's name. We suggest a monetary donation because this is more approachable than a blood drive, and this way the Red Cross can invest in what is necessary. The date we have set is the 28th of September, Moonlight's premier anniversary. The donations go from 0.50 cents to 50 dollars, which will go directly to the country's Red Cross. These donations can be made in a number of convenient forms depending on the country and/or region. This includes via a phone call, the Internet, and of course, at the local Red Cross headquarters.

This campaign is readily accessible to fans all over the world, and will take place in one specific day, the 28th. The plan is to draw media attention to the widespread nature of our donations. With events that are simultaneous and worldwide there is much more coverage and impact than if it were done locally, as it occurs, for example, with worldwide movie premiers. Therefore it is important to adhere to the date and make sure that our donations are done on time.

We have been asked to include copies of the campaign and to send them to major parties, such as Nina Tassler, Joel Silver, CBS, WBTV, etc. which we will gladly comply as soon as we have gathered the results.

We are still working to include more countries. So far we have contacted and recieved a positive response from the United States of America, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, the UK, Australia and Latinamerica.

Hurricane Katrina's third anniversary ~ Remembering our Gulf Coast neighbors

You know how much New Orleans means to me. Today is the 3rd anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. I am humbled by the resilience of those who fought to get their lives back after the unreal devastation of that storm. People who lost family members, friends, homes, pets and businesses in Bay St Louis, MS ~ Waveland, MS ~ St Bernard Parish ~ NOLA ~ Lower Ninth Ward ~ Biloxi, MS (too many communities to list here). Yet, they would not give up! Rebuilding not only their own lives, but helping loved ones, neighbors & strangers to do the same. Add to that the outpouring of assistance and care from every state.... and around the world. It is awe-inspiring!

Several friends in New Orleans are asking for our positive thoughts as they nervously watch the approach of Hurricane Gustav. I know shelters and charities in Oklahoma City are gearing up to receive possible evacuees, in case of emergency. Patients from hospitals in Louisiana are already being transported to one of our medical centers.

Please, remember the people of the Gulf Coast!

Of course, the Red Cross is preparing to help. I am soooooooo proud of Moonlight fans for supporting such an important organization :)

Holly Valance champions the mission of MDRI

Mental Disability Rights International is an organization which helps people who are challenged. Sadly, they are often being abused and/or neglected. According to their mission statement ~ "Mental Disability Rights International (MDRI) is dedicated to promoting the human rights and full participation in society of people with mental disabilities worldwide."

http://www.mdri.org/

Alex O'Loughlin's girlfriend, actress/singer Holly Valance, has taken up this cause. This video shows the PSA she did in support of MDRI. Below is a message from Holly explaining why she became involved with this worthy cause.

A letter from Holly Valance, international model, singer and actress:

Dear Friends,

I first learned of MDRI after its Serbia story shown on NBC News. To say I was affected by the images would be an understatement. I guess you don't know what you don't know, but now that I do, I can never be the same.

Huddled over my laptop sobbing, I wrote to the organization offering to be of any service I could. As I learned through further educating myself with MDRI's reports and discussions with staff, I realized this is not only a mental disability rights issue – but a human rights issue.

The work MDRI does is so important - any kind of support is crucial and pivotal to changing the conditions, laws and mindsets of the countries affected. I lie awake at night sick to my stomach about what goes on in these institutions and MDRI is the one on the frontline making these changes possible. They are truly angels – and they need our help. If there was ever a worthy cause that can make the world a better, safer, more compassionate place, this is it. I've always been very drawn to helping those without voices, the ones who don't get a say; the ones who are not seen or heard but kept away in poverty and shame; treated worse than animals.

They are God’s children too and they need to be protected. They deserve every right and opportunity you or I have and it's simply not good enough to sit back and hope someone else will fix it, or it will go away. It won't. It takes hard work, perseverance and funding to change an enormous issue like those tackled by MDRI daily.

If you know now, please help.

Make a truly meaningful decision to be part of something life changing for millions of people. While you curl up in your warm and safe bed tonight, imagine the torture being inflicted daily on these unfortunate souls because not enough of us know.

It's disgusting – and you are somewhat responsible if you learn about it and do nothing.

This has got to stop. It can not go on.

I am so truly honored, humbled and proud to be associated with Mental Disability Rights International.

Yours faithfully,
Holly Valance

Official Press Release........

Alex O’Loughlin / Moonlight Blood Drive

Fans of the recently cancelled CBS vampire detective television series Moonlight have organized the Alex O’Loughlin / Moonlight Blood Drive to be held in San Diego, California on Friday and Saturday, 7/24-7/25/08. It will be hosted by Trevor Munson, co-creator of the series.

The freshman series amassed a huge fan base and a cult-like following, as evidenced by winning the “Favorite New TV Drama” on The Peoples Choice Awards.

The Alex O’Loughlin / Moonlight Blood Drive will be held at the W Hotel San Diego, 421 West B Street from 11:00 AM-4:30 PM Friday and Saturday. Trevor Munson will be available both days during these hours to sign autographs and chat about Moonlight and upcoming projects.

Trevor Munson is very proud to be hosting the blood drive. In his words: “When I was writing the novel that Moonlight was based on, I hoped to connect with those who read it one day in the way one does when creating a work of fiction. I hoped it would entertain and perhaps even inspire people in positive ways in their own lives. Eventually that novel evolved into a television show, and it was wonderful to see that eight million people a week tuned in because they liked the premise, enjoyed the stories, and cared about the characters. But nothing could have prepared me for the way that Moonlight fans took their love for the show and carried it out into the world in real and meaningful ways. Because of them, people across America and the globe, have linked themselves to blood centers and orchestrated blood donation efforts on behalf of the show they came to love … It is humbling and wonderful to have been a part of creating something that has served as a catalyst for so much good. I thank you all, and would like to take this opportunity to invite others (fans of the show or not) to come and join us in the spirit of the goodwill and giving at these events.”

Alex O’Loughlin is a dedicated supporter of the blood drive efforts. To support Alex and Moonlight, make an appointment at www.givelife.org and use the password Moonlight. This will take the donor straight to the events calendar where he/she can make an appointment for a time between 11:00 AM and 4:30 PM each day. Donors with an appointment will be given preference over walk-ins. Come out, save a life, and see Trevor Munson! The W Hotel San Diego is only 8 short miles from the Comic Con Convention, which is being held the same weekend.

The Alex O’Loughlin / Moonlight Blood Drive is being sponsored by www.youchoose.net, which is the place for fans of TV programs to join campaigns for their favorite shows, including “save our show” campaigns. The American Red Cross states that every two seconds someone needs blood, but only a small percentage of those who are eligible actually donate. Donating blood is a great way to make a difference in your community. Please go to www.givelife.org to find the nearest Red Cross Blood Service Region.

Fans who need information and do not have an internet connection can call 800-335-4852 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM Pacific Time daily. To respond to this press release call or e-mail Barbara Arnold at robes4you@aol.com.

The only three sites exclusively affiliated with the Alex O’Loughlin / Moonlight Blood Drive are www.youchoose.net, www.moonlightblooddrive.org and www.officialalexoloughlinfanclub.com. For additional information, please contact the representatives listed on the three sites.

Touching message from Trevor Munson to Moonlight fans!

Trevor Munson is the writer who dreamt up Mick St John. He has written a heartfelt, thoughtful message to his fans! We have marvelous, unpretentious people involved with our show. I can't think of any other production that can boast of such a fan friendly and grateful group.... from the writers to our cast and crew :)

In addition to expressing his thanks, Trevor also urges everyone to come give blood at the event he is hosting. To donate blood, go to www.givelife.org then enter Moonlight as the sponsor. As I wrote previously, I know that you will make him and all Moonlight fans proud with your donations.

Those of us who are not lucky enough to attend his blood drive in person can donate $$$ instead.

Good news ~ Trevor's mom is doing very well since her procedure! *cheer*

MOONLIGHT BLOOD DRIVE SPONSORED BY YOURS TRULY

When I was writing the novel that Moonlight was based on, I hoped to connect with those who read it one day in the way one does when creating a work of fiction. I hoped it would entertain and perhaps even inspire people in positive ways in their own lives. Eventually that novel evolved into a television show, and it was wonderful to see that eight million people a week tuned in because they liked the premise, enjoyed the stories, and cared about the characters. But nothing could have prepared me for the way that Moonlight fans took their love for the show and carried it out into the world in real and meaningful ways. Because of them, people across America and the globe, have linked themselves to blood centers and orchestrated blood donation efforts on behalf of the show they came to love.

What better than a show about vampires to raise awareness about the need for blood and get people to give?

I am told that a single pint of blood saves three lives. The most recent blood drive held in the name of the show resulted in the collection of 3,165 pints, potentially saving the lives of 10,495 people. It is a precious gift we can so easily give. As someone with a mother who is in the process of going through a bone marrow transplant, I have seen first hand just how much blood and bone marrow donation can help a family who might otherwise have lost a loved one.

Even more amazing, despite the recent cancellation of the show, rather than give up and go away as they might have done, the fans have continued their efforts to raise blood and awareness. More blood drives are being planned even as I write this. It is humbling and wonderful to have been a part of creating something that has served as a catalyst for so much good. I thank you all, and would like to take this opportunity to invite others (fans of the show or not) to come and join us in the spirit of the goodwill and giving at these events.

Sincerely,
Trevor Munson

San Diego blood drive hosted by Trevor Munson ~ July 25th & 26th

Speaking of blood drives....... I know a lot of you are riled up about going to the annual San Diego Comic Con 2008 (July 24th to 27th). Moonlight was introduced at last year's convention so it will always be special to Moonlight fans! I remember seeing videos & photos of our cast and falling even more for the show.

This year, an Alex O'Loughlin/Moonlight blood drive is planned to coincide with the convention. It will be held at the W Hotel because the con has a long standing, wonderful drive of its own. Can you imagine how many lives are going to be saved by the combined efforts of these events?!? Too exciting!

If this news hasn't already gotten you charged up.... The event is going to be hosted by our own Trevor Munson! YEA! Check out the adorable photo of him in the banner. For new international Moonlight fans who may not know that name, he is the co-creator & co-executive producer of our show. Without him, we would not have Mick St John. Trevor is such a gifted writer, as well as an unpretentious & funny man. I have no doubts that you will make him... and all of us... proud :)

New message from Alex O'Loughlin to fans about blood drives!

Alex O'Loughlin has sent a new message to all his fans! *cheer* It is soooooo good to hear from him again :) He writes about his continuing support for the American Red Cross and the Moonlight fans' blood drive. We know that Alex is a gracious, sincere person who wouldn't become involved with a charity if he didn't mean it. It never even entered my mind that he would turn his back on the campaign simply because Moonlight was canceled. Alex is not that kind of guy.... another reason that he means so much to us!

I'm reposting the video of Alex's wonderful public service announcement for the Red Cross.

The Breast Cancer Fund ~ Climb Against the Odds ~ Benefit tomorrow night!

Reminder... Artists in Support of the Climb Against the Odds fundraiser is tomorrow night!

I've been asked by lots of people if Alex O'Loughlin is behind this charity along with his girlfriend, Holly Valance. Yep! If you look at the website for the benefit, Alex & Holly are listed as "celebrity supporters." Holly is also credited as production manager.

I'm happy to see that this amazing cause has so many stars putting their name to good use..... James Gandolfini, Orlando Jones, Jaime Pressly, Chris Noth, James Woods are just a few who have joined Holly & Alex.

Repost ~



The lovely Holly Valance asked for her message to be shared. I am happy to do so because it is very important that we support such an amazing cause! Just as Holly mentions, I can not think of anyone I know who is untouched by this disease. Very sad.....

The Climb Against the Odds will take place June 15th to 21st, 2008 at Mt Shasta in California. A group of 35 breast cancer survivors & supporters will gather there to take on this challenge of climbing the mountain, which is 14, 162 feet. "Their journey is both a collective effort to prevent breast cancer and a personal challenge to beat the disease."

New article about the Moonlight Blood Drive & Alex O'Loughlin on Buddy TV's site

Kris De Leon has published a new article about our Moonlight Blood Drive and Alex O'Loughlin on Buddy TV's website. Spreading the word! Again, it is wonderful to hear how proud Alex is of his Moonlight fans. :)

Moonlight: Alex O'Loughlin Grateful for Blood Campaign
by Kris De Leon

As the star of Moonlight, Alex O'Loughlin couldn't be more pleased with fans that have put in great efforts, not to mention blood, sweat and tears, to promote the CBS freshman series. But among all the campaigns, what recently and significantly caught the Australian actor's attention is the fact that fans have come up with a philanthropic act that supports the series and helps save lives at the same time.

As reported recently, fans have launched a blood drive in association with the American Red Cross to request the network to renew Moonlight for a second season and to celebrate new episodes of the vampire detective series when it returns on Friday, April 25.

“It's just so great. Even more so than them caring about the show is that such initiative is being used to participate in a community service at such a selfless level. I think it's such a great idea, and it's such a wonderful project and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. And then on a show level, it's thrilling to know that people care about the show as much as I do,” O'Loughlin said of the blood drive.

While fans are patiently waiting for new episodes to air, O'Loughlin and the rest of the cast of Moonlight are also anxiously waiting for a second season pick up. Although the show has established a solid following and above average ratings, as of the moment, the network has not made any official announcement regarding the fate of the series.

“CBS is so unpredictable in how and why they make the decisions they make which is why no one, not even the other networks, can second-guess them at this time of the year before the upfronts. Personally, I think it'd be a smart business choice to pick the show up, because we have such a rabid fan base and people will tune in to watch,” O'Loughlin, who plays lead character Mick St. John, said.

“As an actor, I can't ever afford to second-guess anything, because often I'm wrong, and it hurts too bad,” he added.

If you're a fan of Moonlight, you can support the show through the blood campaign and by watching new episodes beginning April 25 on CBS.
