The board has been slow for me on and off this afternoon, FYI.
Police procedure has changed since I was little.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Woo hoo!!!! Now explain the Huckleberry thing and teddy bears and stuff like that. Tell me a story, baby.

A whole story? One that won't be lost in a sea of blinding blue? (My apologies for the scary webpage, it was done during my Frontpage phase. *shudder*)
I feel subconscious and unusually chatty. All the other posts here seem to be no bigger than two lines. But fine, since you asked....

1999 - Joss wants to do a charity thing for his pet charity, the Huckleberry Fund. It provides medical care and information to kids living on the streets. Coca Cola wants to do a promotion with BtVS. They call Joss, Joss says, "Woo! Two birds, one PR campaign!" And together they host "The Barq's and Buffy Halloween Bash," where fans and Childrens Hospital patients mingle with cast members while watching "Fear Itself." And get Buffy bears.
Shortly after, we raffled off a Promo Buffy bear for the Fund as a thank you to Joss. It went over well, but then the Huckleberry Fund seemed to fade into oblivion - I certainly don't recall Joss ever mentioning them again. I've scrolled the CH website looking for updated information about the HF, but can only find old mentions. I think it got absorbed into the High Risk Youth Program, which appears to provide all the services (and more) that the HF used to handle.
And that's all I know. However, I still have all my old contact names and numbers, so if this charity is something you want to follow up on, let me know and I'll start calling. I could use a good kick in the pants to get involved in something worthwhile again.

Sweet. Thanks, Polgara. We've been discussing First Book and Heifer.org as contenders.
We should do an Alias fundraiser and get the Vartan lurve. But would we have to change our names to Aliasistas?

That's the beauty of it - you could call yourselves anything you want. Except possibly Aliasistas.
