02:17 PM: CLAYMATES UNITE!!

I've told my friends and colleagues at UNICEF just how motivated and supportive you all are. I tried to explain just how wonderful and driven you can be when it comes to supporting causes that are important, like the world's children.

To test my theory, they have set up a special link specifically for us to use to help out with the Lebanon crisis I talked about in my last blog.

They'll be monitoring this link to see just how great the Claymates can be.

If you aren't able to this time, it's absolutely cool. Encourage those you know are able to use this link to donate. If you are in a position to help UNICEF help the children affected by the crisis in Lebanon, do so by clicking HERE. Let's show them what we're made of!!

ONLY 24 HS. AND:

09:33 AM: Holy Moly!

You MUST be kidding me!!!

I am CONSTANTLY AMAZED by your fervor and your enthusiasm, to say nothing of your generosity.

I just got a call from about 15 people at the UNICEF office in NYC who were about to jump out of their skin with excitement!

They could not LOVE the Clay Nation any more! Since mid afternoon yesterday, you guys alone have contributed $45,896.96 to UNICEF's work with the children in Lebanon!

Unbelieveable!!

The Claymates' contributions make up 17% of the total monies raised for the Lebanon crisis!

They say it is absolutely unprecedented.

I say "That's just how amazing my fans are!"

To give you an idea....

$45,896.96 can buy:

245 school-in-a-box kits with supplies to provide 19,628 children with schooling.

188 emergency health kits providing basic drugs, medical supplies, and equipment for 188,102 children for 3 months

Look at all the DIFFERENT WAYS that you guys are making a difference.

As the number rises, I'll keep you up-to-date!

Sometimes I wonder how I'd ever make it through this world without having you. I just wouldn't have a clue!

(that was a specific hint for you... as a thank you! ;)

I love you guys!

07/28/06 11:04 AM: End of day results

Here's the last update of the day as the UNICEF office closes at 2pm today.

$47,556.96

that's 254 school-in-a-box kits serving 20,338 children or

195 emergency health kits for 194,906 people for 3 months

WAY TO GO!!

THIS IS THE CLAY FOR THE WORLD!!!

I personally think Pamela Anderson is way overrated. She's been having too much publicity with her boobs, then husband, then no boobs, how is she still top 10???
