Dipti Shetty (India) wroteon May 5, 2009 at 4:13am Hi Guys! The wristbands were delivered today! Yay! I have uploaded a couple of pictures, please click on the links below: www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3137325&l=b9863d31d6&id=653005791www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3137324&l=6ad6b7534f&id=653005791As you guys know, proceeds from the wristbands would be donated to Eve’s fund on behalf of all the troopers. This way, we can own an “Anoop” wristband and also support a cause close to his heart.We hope to raise around $500! So, let’s do some math! Cost of 100 wristbands + shipping = $300 Amount we hope to donate = $500 To reach our target of $500, we plan to sell each band at $8. This includes shipping. I do understand that some of us here are students and might not be able to afford $8/band. In such cases, you can buy a wristband by paying a minimum amount of $3(so that we can recover the cost of production + shipping). Anything over and above $3 will be donated. Requests for wristbands with your shipping address should be sent to anoopvid@gmail.com You can pay using PayPal. PayPal account - Dipti.shetty@gmail.com Wristbands will be promptly shipped once we receive requests (and your contribution ). Also, is there an inexpensive way of shipping these wristbands to international fans? Any suggestions? C’mon Troopers! Let’s get this started! Thanks! Dipti P.S: We have collected $12 so far..(I bought 2 wristbands + saved on shipping ..lol).Will keep you guys posted on the amount raised, quantity sold etc.

Hey all! You can also email AnoopVid@gmail.com, which if you recall is the Gmail account we used to make the ULTIMATE FAN VIDEO! There you can send Dipti orders or request more information on the wristbands!

P.S: Anxiously awaiting any info from Anoop as to whether or not he got the UFV (Ultimate Fan Video) which ran at a total of an hour and forty minutes (on two disks) with a contribution from Noah's mom. [:

Anoop's making it easy to see the wristbands in tour pics and vids! Seems like people are noticing and asking about it. Is there anything we can do about making them available in Dipti's absence? I hope she's fine, and somehow the campaign for Eve Carson Scholarship Fund can continue. Since he's happy to wear it for the cause, I hope we can find a way. I'd give her a few more days. After the cali shows, I guess we need a Plan B possibly.

this would be a GREAT way during concerts to raise funds. I wish she'd get back to us. otherwise we will need to think of something else.

what if we buy a new set of wristbands, someone can take helm of the project and every trooper who goes to concerts can encourage other troopers to buy them? and maybe we can tweet to anoop to help us spread the word.

That sounds like Plan B !! We need to find the source of the original order, and find a way to get a WB leader to distribute WBs fast so concert goers can show Anoop we're serious & strategic. Eve's Fund is close to Anoop's heart, so hopefully this can continue to be part of the plan. If $8 WB is prohibitive for fans, we could still donate anything over cost of $3. Whatever gets attention for Anoop (and Eve's Fund at the same time!) is the goal. Wish I could help more, but for now I can only contribute ideas..... there may be more ways I can help as WB PlanB develops.

i don't have enough funds to get all of them, but am willing to donate my time. If we can coordinate with various fans who are going to the concert, we can send them the WBs asap and they can sell them at shows. It needs to be soon though. I'll look into the WBs, if anyone knows any websites/places that does WB's for cheap let me know.

www.wrist-band.com is the site i am looking into. if we do it, should we mock it or change it up a bit? I am thinking of adding an internal message "Remembering Eve Carson". what do guys think?

I remember discussion before original order re: notation of Eve Fund & it was decided to make WB without the mention. I agree with your thought, but also think that since Anoop has the original and is aware of our intentions to contribute to Eve's Fund, it would be best to identify the original to match Anoop's WB if possible, and simply say it benefits Anoop charity (I think he may prefer some discretion on that). Dipti and others had a Facebook discussion about the order choices, but I don't know if the posts can still be found. I can happily donate a portion of the WB bulk purchase once the amount is identified.

I am certain the original WB order was for "Color Coat" style - white inside with light blue coating - like the ones at 24hourwristbands.com/custom-color-coat-wristbands/ and according to the posting on FB, was $164 for 100 with lettering on front and back (shipping unknown - possible chg. for music notes on original?) Let me know what else you need..... happy to do what I can for the cause!

We can order WBs from 24hourwristbands.com/custom-color-coat-wristbands/ just like original (music notes could be uploaded graphic, or pawprints can be added instead) We can have these in 10 days. I can contribute part of cost and extra fee for rush order. In 10 days we can designate a WB leader for each tour venue, gather contact info, and be ready to send batches out for the Troopers. Is anyone interested in really doing this? Anoop's not wearing his WB for nothing..... if we do nothing now, it would be tragic. Cost of 100 WBs is under $200. Who's in??? I don't mind donating a portion for the cause. If we get donations for the cost, the WB leaders for each venue can just sell them & we can then donate what we raise to Eve's Fund. Let's decide and do something.
