We reached our 3333 mark for our twitter contest!!! Thank you to everyone for helping out by spreading the word and RT’ing every tweet we sent out.  At first we were hesitant with that number but then realized a goal shouldn’t be easy to reach, it should take work.

We will be making our donation to Light the Night this week and will link everyone to it as soon as it has been made.

This donation means a lot to us because it will be in memory of our friend Matt.  A couple of us will also be walking in memory of him at Light the Night in Washington, DC this Saturday.

Thank you again. This could not have been done without each and every one of you.

Congratulations Tara for winning the YouTube You Decide $1,000 donation that will be made in your name to the:

American Cancer Society’s Medfield/Norfolk MA

Relay for Life of 2009

Matt is a fellow Jack’s Mannequin fan and a proud 11:11 A.M. supporter. Earlier this year, Matt, who is 23 years old, was diagnosed with lymphoma. This Christmas season, he is going to be in the hospital bravely fighting his cancer and receiving his treatments.

11:11 A.M. wants YOU to show your support for Matt’s fight and spread a little holiday cheer. Send him a holiday card (Matt celebrates Christmas, but you’re free to send any sort of card– even a handmade one!) to:

City of Hope
1500 E. Duarte Road
Duarte, CA 91010
ATTN: Matt Cwiertny – Patient

It is very important to include the “ATTN: Matt Cwiertny – Patient” line, so please double-check when you address your card. He’ll be reading every single one, so be sure to include your favorite JM lyric or reference to 11:11. Let’s spread some holiday cheer and let Matt know that he is not fighting alone!

Fight on,
11:11 A.M.

PS. Send us a photo of you and your card, and we’ll post some of the best ones on our myspace!

We would like to let everyone know that as of yesterday, the 11:11 A.M. Charity has donated another $5,000 dollars in Honor of Brendan May to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation. You can track his stories in earlier news posting.

This $5,000 will bring us to $8,000 total for the year! Amazing everyone! It couldn’t have been done without you

Also, we need to thank Glamour Kills as well because without the shirt we would not have been able to reach our goal.

Look out for more exciting news coming soon!!!

Rock on,
The 11:11 A.M. Team

1. Our donation of $5,000 and details about that.
2. Christmas time activities.
3. New Items in the store.

We have so much coming up and we can’t wait to share it all with everyone. In the meantime, Glamour Kills (www.1111am.com) is still selling the shirt and last time I checked we were selling them like hot cakes, so, thank you for all the support with that. It’s amazing how our (you included) little project has grown!
