God, these campaigns...you have to donate money to be ENTERED INTO A DRAWING for a ridiculous t-shirt. ALL of these should give you gifts in return, even if it's a printed photo or a shirt. Her team never fails to amuse...

They filmed this a month ago when she was posting the photos from the studio with Zane & Rotem.

She's asking for $50,000 again? Well, we've seen how well it worked last time. Wasn't it this Fit Tea company who donated the main amount last minute in order to not make the campaign look like a total failure? Who's going to save it this time, Slimsecrets?
Nonetheless, people should donate because they want to help and not because they expect something back from her.

It is a good strategy if she's going to comeback with a single so it will be easy for her to achieve the goal. I guess she's not ready at this time for the comeback. If she is, I guess she will use that opportunity.

I don't have a problem donating something to a good cause without receiving a gift for it. Isn't that also the point of donations? But I do have to say, I would like to know beforehand if I'll get a prize or not. This "a chance to win a prize" is kinda inconvenient (can't think of a better word right now).
But seeing that they finally accept PayPal, I might actually donate a bit after all. Does anyone know how donating from outside the US works? Will I have to pay money for currency exchange, and if yes, how much?

I agree people should donate for the sake of donating and not getting anything in return. However, it's pretty ridiculous to expect people to drop $500 and likely not get anything in return, while there's people who could only donate $10 and possibly win a shirt. I feel like for the higher donations they should at least automatically get a shirt or something small like that. I wonder if the fan phone call will take place before or after the album release, wonder if whoever the lucky fan is can ask her anything album-related? Doubt they're allowed to share anything though. Or worse, she will only respond "soon." I donated last time, so I think I will skip it this year. I hope the campaign is successful for her though and that they meet their goal this time. Maybe Chad, Ryan, etc. will secretly pitch in if it looks desperate?

When I donated about 5 years ago I got the shirt and a handwritten note although I lost that. I probabaly accidently threw it away but I bet Avril didn't even write it someone from her foundation probabaly did. Now there are no guarantee you will get anything because you're in a draw

Only 1 donation of $500 to have a 10 minute phone call with Avril.. and 2 chances to win. Will that person get 20 minute call instead? I mean, that is a prize that i understand you can get by donating. A phone call, with the person who you are technically dontating for/to. + when a artist ask you to donate to an American Foundation, that is cool. BUT, i personally would not donate to a USA based organisation who gives to kids there. Not because i dont think they do not need or deserv it. But because it would be more sensible for me to give to a organisation in my own country. So in this case, give to get back arent to off for me. And the cost to produce the prices vs the sale prize is quite distinctive, so there is still money to the cause. Tho at the same time the give to get is a bit off. But if 50 people give $100, only 1 "benefit" from it. And you should donate because you are expecting nothing in return. If you do, well then that is great. If you dont, that is also great. The only thing so far that i am seeing, is how can they expect to gain $50000 on fans them self finding the link because they know Avril usually has a bday charity? No promotion, no money.

I donated 500$.
I pick my donations carefully, I'm very picky donator. But in the end I have no problem of supporting something else than my own country's foundations. If specially thinking about Lyme and borreliosis, they are very common here and you can get free vaccines against ticks every spring. So, if she went through all kinds of hassle to get treated properly, what it must be like for someone who hasn't got that kind of wealth as she has?!
I recently donated in the behalf of Monica Church, who is a vlogger. Honestly with that, I can't even remember what was the actual foundation - it's just that Monica is so inspiring that I wanted to support her by donating. Although she had more reasonable goals. I think she wanted to raise 4000-5000 $ 😅
I'm not really expecting to win. It's totally fine if I don't get anything. But as I am in a position where I can donate, I don't mind donating in something she believes in.

Yikes, I think she set her goal too high!! Maybe time for her ex-husbands to send out a plea for donations?
