Over on VanHansis.net's message boards, we've come up with a way for Van Hansis (aka Luke Snyder) to get into the Holiday Spirit! If you've read Van's recent blog over on CBS.com, you'll notice that he doesn't seem excited about the upcoming holidays, well, we're trying to help that!

RogerD from VanHansis.net has come up with the idea of sending Christmas cards to both Van and Jake Silbermann (aka Noah Mayer)! He's going to compile all the cards in a huge box and send or take them to the "As the World Turns" studios. Hopefully this will bring up Van's holiday spirit! If you would like to send a card, please email RogerD at roger@loger.net so he may send you his mailing address. He asks that he receives the cards by December 17 to give him plenty of time to give the cards to Jake and Van.

Additionally, they've created an account at BroadwayCares.org. They are collecting money to donate to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS on behalf of Van and Jake. They've already raised more than thirteen times their goal of $500! If you would like to donate, please visit Project Holiday Spirit (In Honor of Van & Jake) on the Broadway Cares site!

Broadway Cares included a mention of PHS in their round-up of how successful online fundraising was for them in 2007. PHS raised over 10% of their Team Online Fundraising funds! Read more here. Great job, everyone!
