Buda asked me to post this here so people could get an idea where the calendar project is at and headed. It is unedited, so consider it draft form only. Technical Terry, Drazan or Balou, if you could chime in on how a press release works, so people know what to do with this when it gets to it's final stage (it should be available on the cause4design web site as a downloadable document0, that would be fabulous. I'm not all that familiar with the process.

Graphic Designers Unite Globally for Worthy Cause
____Place_________, September 30, 2007: Forty – six graphic designers, artists, and printers from around the world united to create a calendar to assist in raising funds needed by the family of Andriana Senarighi. Also known as Ana to her friends and family, the eleven year-old is currently undergoing tests and treatments for an inoperable brain tumor. The medical diagnosis officially known as Brainstem Gliomas translates into layman’s terms as having a tumor that affects the nerves in the cranial area. It impairs vision, swallowing, and facial movements. Because the tumor is inoperable, Ana’s only viable treatment comes in the form of chemotherapy.
Upon hearing about Ana’s plight and surmounting bills, the designers and artists came together on a web forum called graphicdesignforum.com where Ana’s father Pete is a member and one of the moderators for the parent company Jupitermedia.com. Pete is a self-employed freelance designer who lives and works in Minnesota.
The forum members banded together to donate their skills and time to create a calendar to sell to the public as a fundraising endeavor. The project has taken on a collaboration of ideas and processes that take part in various parts of the world. A project manager coordinates all aspects of the project from Austrailia; design specs for the calendar sparked from Wisconson, the web designers worked together from Rochester, MN and ___________, and the calendar is being printed and shipped from ________________.
The calendar displays weekly designs ranging from whimsical to romantic and everything in between. For more information about the calendar and the project, visit cause4design.com or oneana.com.
For Release 6 a.m. GMT, September 30 (?)
