EDIT: Unfortunately the auction is over… It went for under $100 which is sad for TWLOHA but very exciting for the winning bidder… Wish I’d had the money to bid. 🙂 Now, this is what I am talking about! The use of fandom power, for a cause! Calling on all die-hard Supernatural fans, collectively known as the SPN Family. Chad Lindberg and Samantha Ferris are offering their time for a great cause.

Meeting Fans is also… ‘Paying It Forward’.

We have heard and have seen so much about the horrible atrocities of the Holocaust, but what George and the Legacy project are trying to get out there, is an untold story. One that should be told. It’s done in a way that isn’t too confronting and really is, the other side of the coin. I hope this truth of American history is…
