Hi sweeties! Just wondering if the cards have been sent out? :)

They have! If you haven’t received yours yet have a look in your spam folder and if it’s not there, shoot us an email to [email protected]. Thanks! :) 

[dcbelascobuyout]

are you guys gonna send the final card to everyone who donated?

We promise they’re on the way! We had some trouble with GoFundMe not sending us the emails of everyone who donated but we have sorted it out and people should start receiving their emails within the next day or two :)

With the list of everyone who donated sent to Darren and the funds raised safely in the hands of HMI, all good things must come to an end, but we wanted to say a little good bye and a few thank you’s.

Amanda and I started Darren’s Belasco Buy Out with the idea that we would raise a little bit of money for such a worthy cause. We had no idea how big it would become and just how many lives would be changed simply because of one guy, in one role on Broadway, with one hell of a fandom.

There hasn’t been one moment this entire time that we haven’t been blown away by the generosity of Darren’s fandom and we are so proud when everyone tells us they have never seen a fans do something like this before.

But it wouldn’t have been possible without so many people, so here we go.

Firstly, to the geniuses behind @atthebelasco, Windsor and Mary, for all your hilarious tweets, shares and being such a power-house behind the buy out!

To Chandler, Abby and the entire HMI team! Thank you for going with our weird idea, all the phone calls, the tour of HMI and letting us see just how we’re making a difference.

To Ricky and Eleni, for the support, signed Playbills, keeping it a secret from Darren all this time, and of course arranging for us get backstage with Darren to show him what his amazing fans have done.

and most importantly to YOU! THE FANS! It was your generosity, kind words, shares, reblogs, tweets, messages that made $12.5K happen and we wouldn’t be here without you!

Thank you so much and we’ll catch you on the midnight radio!

What did Darren think about the whole project and all those donations?

LOVED IT! (there was a lot of swearing)

[dcbelascobuyout]

We think we have all those names down perfectly! If you think your name is missing or spelt wrong just shoot us a message and we will be happy to change it for you. You have until midnight :) 

[dcbelascobuyout]

P.S. if you see your name is missing or spelt wrong don’t hesitate to send us a message. We’re proofing it now and this isn’t going to be sent to Ricky and Darren for a couple more days so we have plenty of time :) 

[dcbelascobuyout]

All the 748 rock and rollers. All for Darren.

[dcbelascobuyout]

Do you have a full picture of the completed and signed banner that you could post?

There are pictures everywhere but here is another :)

What if someone put their name as anonymous to display on the website, but still want their name sent to Darren? GoFundMe said you will still have our names correct?

Correct! We can see all that info in the back-end :)

(Side note the names will be sent to Darren really soon. We had so many donations and we want to go though them all to make sure there are no double ups, people mixed up etc)

[dcbelascobuyout]

hey I had a quick question! I donated 20 dollars but I accidentally put the wrong email when I checked out. Are you sending just names or names and emails because I'm afraid mine will be wrong!

Just the names will be going to Darren! If you want to make sure your email is down right (as we will be emailing out the card to everyone who donated) shoot us an email to [email protected]. Thanks!

hey! could you guys tell us a bit about darrens reaction to the project when you went backstage? and since yesterday was pretty chaos did you even get to tell him the final amount? how will he get the card since he's gonna be in italy now...?

So many questions!

Darren absolutely LOVED it! He was absolutely blown away by all the support and how much fandom had raised. He kept saying over and over how cool it was and how it was the perfect send-off.

Darren does know the final amount! We met up with Ricky a few minutes before the show and told him who passed the message on to Darren. Darren also has the link of the GoFundMe page so he was able to check on it whenever he wanted.

As for the card, we showed Darren what the card was looking like since SO many people were donating every few minutes. He asked if we could give him a list of everyone who donated the entire campaign, so we are going to be emailing it to Ricky who will pass it on to him.

$12,259 raised for Hetrick-Martin. On behalf of the entire team of Darren’s Belasco Buy Out we can’t thank you enough! 

and incase you’re wondering, deadlines don’t exist and every single one of you will be on a list that will be sent to Darren. Keep an eye out for a copy of it in the next couple of days!

Keep on shinin’ like the brightest stars!

[dcbelascobuyout]

$12k for 12 weeks! We couldn’t have asked for a better way to finish this run!

[dcbelascobuyout]

If I'm donating now will me name be on the list given to Darren? Also, does he get the comments? Thanks for the amazing work!

you should think about extending deadline to get your name on the frame until midnight tonight! i've seen quite a few people who missed the deadline. food for thought. this project is amazing and so well handled. fantastic job!

Yes and yes! We’ve been absolutely blown away by all the donations so we’re going to get up extra early tomorrow morning and go through all those donations to make sure everyone is on the list given to Darren. We want to fit you all on it!
