In honor of the 10th Anniversary of the Pumpkins' 1998 Charity tour and the 7th Anniversary of Act IV 2001, Act IV is holding a fundraising drive. Donate today to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois this month, and tell them you want your donation associated with "Act IV- A Tribute to the Smashing Pumpkins". This way, we can know how much money you, the fans have raised together for Make-A-Wish, and show the world how charitable Smashing Pumpkins fans are.
Also, we will be donating $7 from each sale of Ghost Children 2 ( www.act4.net/ghostchildren2.htm ) this month to the effort. Normally, only the profits would go (about $3 a CD) to charity, but we're making an exception for this month!'
This month long donation drive is from July 7-August 7, 2008. Given that people would be donating under their own names, we would imagine that you would get tax receipts (check with Make-A-Wish on their policies).
If anyone would like to donate over the phone to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois directly, their numbers are:
1-800-978-WISH (9474) (toll-free)
312-602-9474 (phone)

The Smashing Pumpkins have a special connection to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois as they donated to the charity for their hometown stop during the Adore charity tour on July 7, 1998. Act IV has followed suit by donating profits from all of its projects to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois for the past seven years.
