The 2008 SMG Birthday Project (Donation to Care)
Originally an idea from Daphne Blake (Joanne) from SMGBoard.com, the 2008 SMG Birthday Project aimed to make a collective donation to CARE in Sarah's name. As a result, $1,775 were donated to CARE by Sarah Michelle Gellar's Fans from all over the world in honor of her birthday.
It looks like the fan community had a pretty good idea. A month after the donation, this quote was released: “For my birthday, I ask friends to make a donation to CARE in my name. It makes me so happy.” - Sarah Michelle Gellar, Instyle May 2008.
