NOTE: This is a work in progress - will be editing this post as more information becomes available, but we wanted you to know that this project IS happening! Keep checking back as all of our arrangements get worked out!

CURRENT STATUS OF THE "BEANIES FOR ACE" PROJECT - 5/15/06:

Many thanks to all of Ace's fans for being patient while we have been working out the details of this fundraiser. As anyone who has ever done a fully approved fundraiser knows, it takes time to get official, written approval. This project started out as an idea we had back in March. By early April, we had ordered beanies from a couple of potential suppliers. We worked with the embroidery shop to convert our concept to actual sewing. Then we sent our first 3 prototype beanies to Ace, which he received on April 18. We then asked for permission to sell the beanies with a profit to be raised for charity. We received his verbal approval along with confirmation of his choice of the recipient, The Children's Hospital of Denver. At that point, we forwarded our written proposal to the hospital and have been waiting for them to look over our plans and give us permission to use their name. We have now received this approval from the Children's Hospital of Denver and from the Young family.

We are well aware that there is another beanie project in place. Both that project and this one are benefiting charity, so buying a beanie from either project is a plus. As we mentioned above, this project will benefit The Children’s Hospital of Denver with the money raised going into the same fund as the initial fan contribution of $7,777.77 organized and overseen by the wonderful committee at aceyoung.net. As you may have already read, the Young family has designated that the money from this continuing fund will go towards the “Family Amenities Area”, a respite area for families who have children in the hospital. In total, 1.5 million dollars will be needed for this project, so anything we can do to move closer to that goal will be very much appreciated.

Project details:

This effort will be a great way to show support for Ace on the American Idol Tour! We will be offering beanies from Ace High Forums with the option of choosing one of two different names sewn on it - "Ace's Beanie Babes" or "Ace's HighRollers". Imagine a huge crowd of fans wearing beanies for Ace at the concerts! Ace was very happy to hear of our idea to show him support while benefitting a cause close to his heart.

The beanies will be available in a number of different colors, depending on availability. We will post updates on the colors available at any given time. The charge will be for our cost plus a donation to the Children's Hospital, plus shipping, with the option available to include more than the stated amount to increase your donation. We have elected to add the proceeds from this fundraiser into the fund already established by the fans to the Children's Hospital in Denver. We will keep everyone updated as to how much we have collected to go into this fund.

The cost of the beanie will be $20 with the donation built in, plus shipping. I have attached pictures of what the beanie will look like with the sewing on it.

I can accept orders right away for the stock I have on hand. Just click on this link - http://s11.invisionfree.com/Ace_High/index...?showtopic=1048 - to take you to our thread with the information stating availability and how to order.

Thank you in advance for your support of Ace and the Children's Hospital in Denver!

CALLING ALL BEANIE BABES AND HIGHROLLERS!

Beanies for Ace!

Ace High Forums is pleased to announce that we have gotten approval from Ace Young to sponsor a fundraiser benefitting his chosen charity (which will be named after we have obtained their approval).

This effort will also be a great way to show support for Ace on the American Idol Tour! We will be offering beanies from Ace High Forums with the option of choosing one of two different names sewn on it - "Ace's Beanie Babes" or "Ace's HighRollers". Imagine a huge crowd of fans wearing beanies for Ace at the concerts! Ace was very happy to hear of our idea to show him support while benefitting a cause close to his heart.

The beanies will be available in a number of different colors, depending on availability. We will post updates on the colors available at any given time. The charge will be for our cost plus a small donation to the charity Ace has chosen, plus shipping, with the option available to include more than the stated amount to increase your donation.

The cost of the beanie will be $20 with the donation built in. I have attached pictures of what the beanie will look like with the sewing on it.

(NOTE: I am working on getting the PayPal account set up as well as ordering info - patience my fellow Beanie Babes/HighRollers!)

I can accept orders right away for the stock I have on hand. Just click on this link - ___________________________ to take you to our thread with the information stating availability and how to order.

Excellent Idea!! I want 2.

ooooohhhhhhh i want one!!!

Soon we will have the PayPal set up and can begin taking orders. In the meantime, if you think you are interested, let me know so I can get an idea of how many beanies I should be getting. I will have a limited number ready to be ordered very soon, and have samples coming to check out a new source. I will be posting what I have in what colors for you to choose from as I get them in.

Hope you are as excited about this as I am!

ETA: I am never sure about the availability of color, but if you could pick any color you wanted, what would it be? This might give me some idea for future orders. Thanks!

I would like 1-Tan and 1-black not sure what I want stitched though.

I need to add one either purple or pink with the Beanie Babe stitched on it.

OOH I Love The Idea! :cheerleader:
Of course, being both a High Roller :cards:
AND a Beanie Babe :ace4:
I'll need one of each... :bliss:

Well I'd need 2 beanies -1 High Rollers and 1 Beanie Babes and my color choices in order of preference would be:

Purple, Royal Blue, , Lavendar, Baby Blue, Red, Black, Tan, :thankyou:

oh ummmm i would get 1 beanie .... i need the money for the concert tickets .... maybe after i buy the tickets i will order another one

Lets see .... hmmm ..... colors ??

Tan, Burgendy or Red, Gray, Black

OOOOOOOOO those are awsome! i want some :D

Oh, I had been planning to get a Beanie, but $20 is a bit out of my price range. I've already purchased wristbands and high roller pins and a tshirt....I guess I'll just have to start saving up some money, huh? I guess if I already donated to the Denver Childrens Hospital that couldnt count toward the charity part of the beanie?

Hey girl! I love this idea SO MUCH!

One question though. It may be too late, but is there a way to change the cards on the Ace High Forums one? To put the ace of hearts in the front? I just thought it might be appropriate, since Ace is indeed the "Ace of our hearts".

Can't wait til it's all settled and ready to go! Oh, and thanks for doing this properly, with planning and thought. I know you know what I mean :wub:

Actually, I can't. This is the way the artwork was and it is all set. But hey - what's wrong with an AceOfDiamonds? :D

Yep - I know that you know that I know what you mean. :blink: uh - yeah. :lol:

And doing it the right way darn near cost me (and I'm pretty sure you know what I mean here too) but I wouldn't have it any other way. Knowing that Ace loves this idea is precious to me.

Love ya g/f!! :hug:

:D I definitely want a beanie -- Ace's Highrollers -- color = black or red

Thanks so much!! They are awesome! By the way the interview on the radio this morning was great!! Good job!

Those are really nice. I can't wait till I get some money then I am going to buy one.

And there is no hurry. The tour doesn't start until July - and we will also be selling throughout the entire tour.

Working hard on the beanie supplies, so they will be ready for orders soon!

Satrupa again... I need another beanie - Ace's Beanie Babes - Color = black or blue. Am I posting in the right place?

I will be keeping track of what is posted here. When I am ready, I will make more formal arrangements with each individual through PM or email as I do not want anyone to post adresses,etc out on main for everyone to see.

Thanks again everyone for your patience!

hey i want a beenie...black please!

Hey I will get one!! I was wondering if you have any like pictures of what they will look like??

Here is the picture I saved from another thread --

I really liked those good job!

THANKS!! What a great idea! I don't have the money yet either, but I will get one soon! :bliss:

FYI, I just bulletined about your beanies with the HWH myspace, so this might perk up a little.

Thanks for all your support of us! Hopefully together we can do awesome!

Nedah, :wub:
