Send a Daisy, Save Pushing Daisies

WE HAVE SURPASSED $1,000 IN DONATIONS!!!!!

Pushing Daisies fans have definitely stepped up to send a message to ABC that they want their favorite show to live on!!! I just placed another order today (details below) and will continue to place orders as frequently as possible as long as the donations continue to roll in.

Which brings us to decision on how we want to march forward from here. We will have sent close to $1,000 in flowers to ABC (including the next order for tomorrow), so do we want to shift our donations away from flowers (which will look nice for a few days, but eventually will be thrown away) to something with more long-reaching benefits? I sent one shipment of daisy seeds to ABC and could send more. These are nice because they can donate them to local charities and I know some other sites are promoting this approach as well. Also, savepushingdaisies.net is promoting a Help the Bees campaign and a Pies for the Poverished campaign. I have not seen any additional information on the latter, but on the Bees campaign there is information on how to donate. I could pool together donations from this site and send those to the Bees campaign and the Pies campaign once it gets up and running. Then I will forward the details on these donations on to ABC.

So as you continue to send your donations, indicate if you want your money to go to flowers, seeds, and/or the Bees/Pie campaigns. Also, for those who sent donations in the last few days, if you want to specify how I should direct your money, just send me an Email a paulswhite@mail.com.

Currently I am sending the daisies to the main ABC address:

ABC, Inc.
Attn: Steve McPherson and Anne Sweeney
500 S. Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521-4551

If anybody knows of alternate addresses to use, let me know.

Send your donations now so that we can continue to get the message out to ABC. All that you have to do is a few clicks on the computer to get your money to my PayPal account, then I will take care of the rest from there. Click on the button below to get started:

DONATIONS CLOSED

We also want to keep the online petition and write-in campaign going as well. Go to this link for more information on these and other initiatives to save Pushing Daisies: savepushingdaisies.blogspot.com/2008/10/write-in-campaign-and-other-initiatives.html

Update 11/13/08: Read about Fancast's interview with Brian Fuller where he suggests options to continue Pushing Daisies if ABC does cancel it (and thanks to FancastFan for the tip).

I wanna stress once again the importance of getting more people to watch.Please,tell everyone abot this show,ok?Let´s up ythat viewership!

You have to setup a Donate Paypal Button to make it easier to donate...look under merchant tools in paypal.

Daisy seeds would be much cheaper to purchase and send and could make more change. Plus then ABC could donate them, etc and not just toss them a week later.

Admin said...

Thanks for the tip on the donate button. It is there now.

Admin said...

Good idea on the daisy seeds. Maybe I will mix some seed shipments in as well. We are also working on sending pies to shelters, but more on that later.

Keep up the good work! We've linked to you at Pushing-Daisies.com.

I would suggest using Sandy's list of names instead of just sending to ABC. Some mailroom employee could be taking them since they are ABC, and it could never get to anyone of importance.

Two more possible suggestions of what to send

Burt's Bees products

http://www.burtsbees.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreView?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10051

and/or Honey sticks

http://www.silverbowhoney.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=13&cat=Honey+Sticks

both of which would last longer than non planted flowers and had the added possibility of making people think about Pushig Daisies when they use them.

This is a great idea! I also think it should be encouraged for individuals to send flowers/seeds themselves. I know I will!

Paul, I sent you an email regarding a button for people to buy. This message is just to help you notice that email (in case it is buried in your inbox).

Thanks!

Hey guys, you might be interested to know there is an interview that just went up on Fancast with Executive Producer Bryan Fuller and they are looking for comments on whether fans would watch a movie and how you feel about so many plot lines being left unfinished if it is the end.

BF says he would up to making a Pushing Daisies movie or comic book and also touches on the possibility of changing networks (like Scrubs did).

The interview is at

Paul, I have a suggestion for this website.
I think it would be a great idea to have a "sticky" section — something viewable as soon as one lands here — with quick links to things fans can do, such as the posts that contain information about the write-in campaign, petitions, etc.
Perhaps you could put it in the sidebar or create a future-dated post (that way it will always appear on top).
Just a thought :)
Anyway, thanks for running this blog!

Lys said...

hey, i've got a post on my blog completely dedicated to the saving of Pushing Daisies written by my friend, who is extremely passionate about the show. It would be really awesome for you to link to it so that more people can see it. I've also provided a link to your fantastic blog in the post. Keep it up!

I'm not sure if you have seen this facebook group, but the aim of the group is to send pies to ABC that were suppossed to arrive at ABC today if everything goes well!

Maybe instead of daisies switch to pie?

heres the link to the group,
