Welcome to the fundraising website in honor of Stargate Atlantis actor David Hewlett!
David has always made it his request that donations be made to Doctors Without Borders, rather than getting him a gift. So it is that we have set up this web page to gather funds for the various fundraisers Hewlett's Squirrels do in 2008.
No amount is too small to make a difference. And no one will be shown what you donate. This fundraising effort was started by fans on David's website (www.dgeek.com). We're busy little squirrels who want to do some good by combining many small donations. (Big ones will work, too!)
What's up with this Squirrel thing?
Well, David has this thing for squirrels. So one day, after remarking how chatty we all had become, he called us his little squirrels. And, being rather nutty ourselves, we ran with it!

Current Fundraisers
Holidays Fundraiser
It's time to celebrate our good lives by giving to others. David and Jane do not want our holiday gifts, but prefer us to donate towards this great organization. Every small gift can help so many. Please help us push towards our 2008 goal!
We have stuff!
Get your stylin' t-shirts and other collectibles so you can be found by your fellow squirrels at your nearest sci-fi convention. All proceeds go towards this fundraiser. More designs are on the way, so keep checking back!

Only US debit cards can be processed. Donations can also be made by check if mailed directly to DWB. They will then send it to your country's office from the US, so give it a few weeks to be submitted. If you do donate by check, please e-mail Paula at gaprose@bellsouth.net with the amount so she can add it to the total.

Just to be clear, this is in no way affiliated with David Hewlett, Jane Loughman, Kibble Productions, Inc., Doctors Without Borders, MGM, Stargate, or whatever legal entity you care to name. This is being done as a gesture of thanks to a guy who has brought us a lot of laughs. Also, please note that this website processes the funds directly to the charity so none of us fans are handling any money. So please give of yourself and donate!
