augustus Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 If you love Jimmy (and who doesn't?) why not become involved in the charity he has been Patron of for the last eight years or so - ABC Trust - Action for Brazil's Children Trust (see abctrust.org.uk). It is a great cause and is close to Jimmy's heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I went to the ABC Trust dinner in Ft. Lauderdale back in 2002. It was a really nice event, even got to meet Jimmy for a second time. It was well worth the price of admission, and the money went to a worthy cause.

Lilith Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Every year, instead of sending Christmas cards to all and sundry, I make a donation to charity instead. I also tell people what I'm doing, so they don't think I'm a miserable "bah humbug" kinda git who's too mean to send them a card! Most cards just finish up in the recycling bin (or worse, in the dustbin), so I'd rather do something which will make a real difference to the lives of people who really need help. Anyway, this year I've decided to donate to the ABC Trust in lieu of spending money on cards and postage stamps - so please pass this idea on, and maybe we can raise lots of money for Jimmy's charity. Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyedye Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 People should become involved with this (& other charities) because they love helping others, not because they love Jimmy. Well said. Give from the heart or don't give at all. I prefer to give to a local cause, and does not deminish my love for Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivewireYouthMusic Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hey folks I run a youth music charity which Jimmy is currently supporting, its a fact that all charities including the one I run could not survivie without the Generosity of individuals well know and not, its a sad fact that some people only give so they can influence yet most giving is done quietly and without any need for return which is the way it should be, I would say to people if you can give to charity give, that can mean money or it can mean time, Livewire employs musicians and it it also relies on a great bunch of people who give time, a few hours per week, occaisionally someone give us a guitar, a drum kit or whatever, this again helps us to keep on offering young people access to music facilities. There are all kinds of ways to give and wether people are giving to a Charity that Jimmy supports or not its cool and those people should feel good about it, however much or little. Anyway finally I believe that when w give money, time, stuff etc, karma has a really cool way of giving something great back to us, that can simply be a great feeling inside or something more. I was fortunate enough to take two young people to the gig on the 10th from Livewire and for them it was an awesome and inspiring experience and for me it was just awesome karma coming back maybe!!! When people start working together to tackle issues cool things happen, we believed that during the 60's and 70's and maybe lost it a little during the 80's, 90's and 00's if you got the chance to change someones life just a little in a postivie way I defy you to maytch that feeling Av fun fellow Zeppers and hope ya Christmas is everything you want it to be. Andy ps you can check out our charity through the link below, we are midway through getting a new website so book mark us and if you are able to help in any way we will be really grateful.

MistressTyreah Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I went to the ABC Trust dinner in Ft. Lauderdale back in 2002. It was a really nice event, even got to meet Jimmy for a second time. It was well worth the price of admission, and the money went to a worthy cause. I was there as well but I do not remember seeing you. At least from judging by the picture as your icon. I did graphics design and formatting for the charity event flyer . I did not say hello to Jimmy that night. But he knew I was there so that made me happy. He smiled at me in a lovely way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture in the avatar is not me. That's Scott Asheton from The Stooges. Check my profile for the real me. I was sitting with some of the Led Zeppelin tribute band that was there- "Robert" and "Jonesy" were at my table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowin Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Last night I was treated to my first surprise birthday bash (40y.o.) by my very special significant other,and my gift from her was that she had asked the guests to donate to ABC at my request instead of any other gifts. This morning we donated the $200.00 to ABC that we recieved last night. She surprised me to no end, and for both of our extended families this year for christmas we have donated to heifer international and a local homeless shelter here in salt lake in their names. For me knowing people are trying to help those in need is encouraging and rewarding...not to mention how glad I am to read all the glowing reviews of the show on the 10th!
