Amazing, isn't it? :yahoo:

Donations flowed in to this year’s Birthday Project from all over the world. :worldhug:

The final total includes $6,190.60 in donations to the Zone's Paypal account for the Birthday Project, and $844.62 given directly to the San Jorge Children’s Foundation in San Juan by Zoners.

Your generosity is so inspiring--even in the worst economic times most of us have ever seen, you still found a way to help the children of Puerto Rico, and to honor Johnny with your gift. :loveshower:

Thank you so much! to each and every one of you, :bouquet:

for bringing this year's Birthday Project to such a wonderful conclusion.

This is wonderful news! Thanks PtP and Theresa for planning this and keeping us updated throughout. I'm very proud to be a part of this project every year and the Zone community. I'm sure the donation will be well used by the foundation in helping the children of PR. What a grand way to celebrate Johnny and all that he gives us. Well done all!

WOW!!! Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! GOD BLESS JOHNNY for being such a sweet soul that he inspires us all to love each other more and from that love comes a desire to help others, in this case, precious children.

I'm SOOOOOO proud to be a ZONER!!! :applause:

This is outstanding news of how a little goes a long way.
Near or far, the generosity from Zoners is to be congratulated.
The teamwork, in honor of Johnny's birthday, is proof that
we're a special family and act in the spirit of good will, kindness
and altruism.
Sound like anyone we know?
It feels good knowing that we're helping the children. :goodvibes:

Thank you Part-Time-Poet and Theresa and everyone that
helped make this Birthday Project a grand success!
