For the last 2 years, Vote for the Worst has supported Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society through our charity fundraiser and donation drive. This year we're kicking it up another notch by starting the first VFTW virtual Relay for Life team. You can become a part of our team and raise money to fight cancer simply by signing up and encouraging your friends to donate to your account. Each member will have their own page where they can raise donations. My goal this year is to raise $10,000 to help fight cancer. It's more than we've ever raised before, but I think we can do it if everyone pitches in and we have tons of members on our team. The charity auction will happen in April. If you have any Idol or entertainment related items you'd like to donate, please email me at mail@votefortheworst.com and let me know. 100% of proceeds will go to this great cause. And please join our virtual team. It's located at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/votefortheworst Once you've joined, you'll be able to send a URL to friends to get them to donate to the cause. The first week of voting, I'll be promoting this on the front page to get people to join. But I wanted to get this out to message board members first so you can join the team right away. Thanks and I hope to see you on the team! Let's kick some butt this year and raise a ton of money to fight cancer. It's for a great cause, and I'm sure each and every one of you knows someone who has been affected by cancer, or maybe you're a survivor yourself. In any case, this is something I feel very strongly about and want to really make happen this year. So join up and be one of the first on the team! http://main.acsevents.org/goto/votefortheworst

I think 50% of the proceeds should go to a new web design or server, but I guess it's nice that you're being generous.

I joined the team. I hope my cheapo friends will donate something. I donated. Cancer is a rotten bitch, and it takes too many people away from us.

Thanks! I'll be recruiting member to join our team on the front page as of next week but I wanted to make sure the people here who were really into this could join up first in case you had any questions.

Bump. Join the VFTW Relay for Life virtual team. It's a great cause, and even if each person raises about $25, if we have a ton of people do that, it'll be a huge. So please join up today or make a donation to the team if you don't want to join. I'd love to see tons of members though. Thanks!

Thanks, Deb! Seriously - no one else is joining yet? We have thousands of members and 2 people have signed up? Come on, peer pressure. Join for a great cause! I don't care if you only raise $5, I just want to see everyone join up to help.

Bump. Does anyone have anything they would be willing to donate for the charity auction? It can be Idol related, entertainment related, whatever. We'd love it. We need to have it in our hands by Saturday, April 17, so make sure to let us know ASAP. We appreciate any and all donations, so let me know here or email me at mail@votefortheworst.com or voteworst@yahoo.com .

Charity auction will start on either Tuesday or Wednesday this week with some really fun items. Would everyone also please consider joining the virtual team? We literally only have 2 members. I don't care if you join and raise absolutely nothing off the bat, but I think people are intimidated to join because only 2 people have (thanks Nicole and Sean!) I'd really appreciate each and every one of you joining up. Come on, Worsters. We've been rallying for Tim and doing a great job. Can't you also take 5 minutes to join up for something that will really accomplish a lot of good and help fight a disease that affects so many people? You can join here: http://main.acsevents.org/goto/votefortheworst When signing up, choose option 2: Register Now - Full team registration has been paid or will be paid later by cash or check. We already paid the registration fee. Who's going to be the first to join up? I'll do a happy dance for you Let's try to get 100 members by the time Wednesday's results roll around. I think we can do it if everyone takes 5 minutes to do it.

I joined the team and put a badge on my facebook profile. I don't need a subnic or anything, I feel shitty that I can't donate (yet, when is the deadline?).

Yep, you don't have to pay anything. Who else wants to join and get a free subnic? This is the only time you'll be able to get a free subnic out of us.
